If this doesnt make you a believer - nothing will.

Just ran into an intresting video on youtube. Been trying to find out more about it.

I havent finished it yet, but i havent been this impressed for a long time. The segment im referring to starts at 3:07.

There is a man flying something and if its CGI im blown away..

Or am I just naive and this has been debunked already?

Thoughts?

Naive. It's real. Has nothing to do with antigravity. That alone proves the maker of that video is willing to lie.

a reply to: samuelsson

The only thing that video is missing is a unicorn

a reply to: Quadlink

Surprised they didn't take a horse and claim it as one.

a reply to: samuelsson

Still watching...

I like it so far. I have never seen the Russian guy flying around in that thing whatever it is. Pretty interesting. S&F from me.

It's been on ats a few times. Neat. But not practical.

How is it not practical? I am not sure I understand the use of the word practical in regard to this subject.

a reply to: Fools

It could never be used by the average person for travel.

a reply to: samuelsson

All it is is forcing air out the hole in the bottom creating thrust. It's not anything special.

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

So is this like a mini jet engine? The exhaust is vectored down and the man is using his weight to steer?

Looking at the video, where is the exhaust or the distortion of air under the craft? Did they CGI it out?

a reply to: samuelsson

It’s called The WASP (Williams Aerial Systems Platform)

Well, I guess I'm firmly in the nothing will group now after watching that video.

At least as far a human technological capabilities that is.

a reply to: ClovenSky

Yes a modified aircraft engine. Why would you see distortion? Nothing to edit out.

Steering is from tilting the craft causing the thrust to push in a direction as well as up.

a reply to: Chadwickus

Yes!

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

I probably just dont understand. I was thinking you would be able to see the heated air from the exhaust like the harrier:

a reply to: ClovenSky

How fast would this tin can go flying off if it was putting out the same power as the harrier.

When you use a leaf blower do you see heat distortion? A lawn mower? No.

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

That makes sense, thank you for the clarification. They must have been very careful not to show anything moving underneath the craft, like grass or dust/dirt.

a reply to: ClovenSky

It's in the sky almost the whole time in that clip and they only showed what they wanted you to see. Even still look at the video again. You will see him shift his weight to make the cart change directions.

Zero gravity he'd be able to stop and flip upside down. This video is lying.

a reply to: samuelsson

That is not CGI. Cool!!! I think I have seen something similar, a long time ago.
