tinyfool on multi-nozzle jet flyer: more jet-jump than sustained flight
tinyfool · x · 2026-10-16
tinyfool comments on a multi-nozzle jet-powered flying vehicle demo, noting that the flip-down maneuver shows strong dynamic multi-nozzle control, but the craft looks built for jet-assisted jumping rather than sustained flight—potentially useful for rescue scenarios.
He also argues this approach may beat quadcopter designs for flying cars or small aircraft.
