I thought it was gonna take off with him as a payload to test.

Then I saw the prop configuration and got super scared.

I’d still like to see it. Just. Without choppy chop

Unfortunately, the video is on imgur, so blocked in the UK

lol, is that this age verification thing? my condolences

[–] docus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No, imgur themselves pulled out because uk threatens to fine them

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

oh okay. this confused me even more, so i found out that the planned fine is because of

its approach to age checks and use of children's personal data.

I took your ‘age verification thing’ as referring to the on line safety act, which came into effect in July. This investigation pre-dates that, and isn’t about the verification part. Which is why my reply started with “No, …”. But it is about the same ‘protect the children’ stuff.

I see. I didn't know that. Thanks for clearing that up.

Theoretically, you could just about transport soldiers with these. Though whether there are any applications in which the added weight of a human makes more sense than guns/bombs/ammo/sensors is not sure.

Interesting that the propeller blades are similar to wind turbine blades, optimized for low speed, and not like modern turboprop scimitars
