Futuristic Weapons Build Test: A Flying M1 Abrams

[CatholicFlyer]

Okay, Flite Test, since we are entering into the Futuristic Style going on in the Military, I was thinking, build a RC M1 Abrams; a nice size, workable turret, tracks, it should be able to drive like a M1 Abrams, but then a added boast to the attack, able to fly, able to aim and fire with the same rate and accuracy. Either treat the under belly like a quad, or motors that can rotate from up and down like a quad and then vertical like a pusher plane.

@Chuppster what do u think of this show idea?

As a past M-1 crewman (1986-90) I am at once intrigued and terrified by this project.

figured since we are now having a Space Force, which means we will have something like flying tanks in space or whatever they come up with, so I thought for this show idea. I was wondering if it could be lifted like a quad by having lift in the under belly.

It could be done! But they already have a flying tank, the A-10!

looks good. I wonder how it flies?

I can only answer that in the same manner as the writers of Star Trek when asked how the Heisenberg compensator works.
When asked "How does the Heisenberg compensator work?" by Time magazine, Star Trek technical adviser Michael Okuda responded: "It works very well, thank you."

UPDATE: FLITE TEST BUILT THE ABRAMS!

Help them get 1 Million Subscribers and will make it fly! @Chuppster @DamoRC @CarolineTyler @kilroy07

oh I loved it. so easy to build to.

I though space force was just gonna be there to get satellites into space and such. And besides, who needs a M1 in the sky when you have A-10s and AH-64D's? this would be interesting though. possibly a quadcopter lifting the tank off the ground?

has enough room for at least 3 or 4 good size RC Cars to drive it, so I would say it might be quad flyer or will put some wings on it as Josh Bixler said.

 

[JTarmstr]

Yeah, that would probably have a wing and a bunch of the Big motors from the chairplane on it to fly. I am really sad about the A-10 though, that was a bad crash.

yeah it was. should went brushless big prop motors in their cheap EDFs, get more power instead of the C pack motors.

They hit 1 Million Subscribers and the Tank Will Fly!
