Especially when you lose power. A normal airplane can glide indefinitely at 5:1 or better until you run out of AGL. A helicopter can auto-rotate with a little skill on the part of the pilot. But what do you do in not quite wingless craft with a 150 mph stall speed and folding helicopter rotors when you're used to having a computer land you VTOL? _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
