I know that peter created a plane using the magnus effect using kfc buckets; however, could the flite test team be able to create a plane using this effect in a way that could be built in something like a speed build kit? Fingers crossed!!!
If you haven't heard of the magnus effect I suggest you go to youtube and check it out, very fascinating how it works.'
My idea is to take a multirotor and have 4 spinning barrels with veins on them to catch wind and create lift hopefully letting you ease off the throttle and conserve power...
