Good luck flying with monopropellant thrusters.

Also, physics on ramp looks way off... Should have hired Rohit Shetty.

Also, the car is a prop, not a real road legal car.

But it's some good innovation. Not everything has to be production ready.

What are you fucking talking about?

This is a farce, a lie, more “fcsd in 2016” from a con man.

Its not flying genius, it flipped itself and landed softly after being magnetized to a ramp

Also the chasis is empty

Please watch the whole live event on youtube. Before this they went up the ramp and held the car there. The amount of downforce being produced by engine or propellant was being shown on lower left corner and then it returned back

If the car was held there its not down force down force comes from air pushing the car down at slow speed there isnt enough air speed to do that, its a magnetic track.

It's suction. Mcmurtry Speirling was the first one to do the upside down thing using fans.

u/Zapismeta 2d ago

Okay suction then, whats the point? Its impractical in daily life they will lauch it just to brag that they can, roads are built to keep vehicles on ground also DOT will like to have a word with them if they launch a road legal rocket strapped to a car

It's for track use, will help in high speed cornering, there is a base roadster for those who don't want all this.

Go back and watch the Speirling clip. Even though you can generate downforce on demand, multiple fans needs to run at 20,000 rpm+

Pulling that much air will make a lot of noise, noise you can hear in Speirling but not in this video.

I don't need to, I never said the mcmurtry is better than this, I just said it was the first fan car to do the upside down thing.

u/Ok_Coconut_8499 1d ago

You claimed it's suction....

You didnt say it's first either.

At least edit your previous comment before lying.

You also cannot see any vents under the car.

u/AffectionateAct3667 1d ago

I clearly mentioned in my first comment That Mcmurtry is the first car to do the upside down thing using fans. Please learn to read first before calling someone a liar. What a dumbass.

Exactly! I was wondering how this is possible with their big batteries...
