who'd have thought it?

It'll never take off

 

[noseall]

Perhaps it may never take off but if you put enough spin on it then maybe it will.

 

[JohnD]

it takes off in the film.

[big-all]

fairly pointless really assuming it does take off and fly its only ever going to be for a very very short time

 

[AronSearle]

I wouldn't say it's completely pointless, if they can build a frame and blades lightweight enough to be powered by a human, think what they could do with a small battery pack and motor weighting about the same as a man.

 

[joe-90]

Give it a whirl.

 

[TriggerSlab]

Really clever as an experiment. But looking at the size of those blades you'd need a hell of a big car park (err 'copter park) at your local Tescos.
