I would question if that is not reverse technology from Roswell? Aliens have been flying their UFO's longer. What more proof do we need of Alien visitation. Do you follow my logic? Do you think I'm serious?
Erik 10 feet -- just high enough to smash your bubble
canopy (and thence your face) into a freeway overpass... nice.

This looks remarkably like the saucer that a fellow in North Salt Lake was developing a decade or two ago, I wonder if the projects are related? I'm rather partial to rotary engines as some of you know, so this caught my eye- until I read the 40-gallon-per-hour fuel consumption rate! And rotaries (even the small ones) must use high-octane fuel to prevent pre-detonation, which can blow out the spark plugs and apex seals (that's instant total power loss in a rotary engine). That's $120+ per hour to operate, at best!
I think the time of the flying saucer is still a ways off, though the military, search-and-rescue, and science may find it usefull. The small airship is still much more ecconomical however, and has a smaller environmental footprint. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com
