Hello mate long time no speak eh!Well i also uploaded it on physics forums and have been having a right ding dong with them about it lol, but they are thinking of it as like a helicopter rather than a rearranges aircraft [my thinking on that is below...]. Graphically i made it in 2d and kinda with i had learned 3d modelling ~ would have helped with modding too eh. So i put it here on the art forum to discuss the design etc in a more casual manner, but yea i suppose i should have put it in the Atheneum section. Maybe a mod could move it.Hows everything with you these days? I’ve been through divorce bla bla and its been tough, and kinda lost touch with modding ~ the graphical side of things have changed so much, and now you have limited hues/colours because the normal mapping and scaling vectors or something like that. I made a few smalll mods for skyrim but the game wont work well with my contrast and hue tricks, something about the weighting, though i haven’t worked all that out as yet. So i’ve been working on a few invention ideas and sci-fi art, atm i am working on edgeless doors, which open from any point using independent self connecting nano-machine-cells. Once i got that figured out the next step will be lightweight exoskeletons and robot bodies. Its not a big deal or anything to me, i just like to spread ideas because the way i see it, new ideas generate further ideas and the whole thing moves on and upwards, know what i mean.----Two principles...
Helicopter; forces air at great velocity such to push itself upwards.
Aircraft; forces itself through the air at great velocity to give lift.
These are opposites.
The wing-mesh system works by the second principle!
+
If the wing surface area multiplied by rotational speed, is the same as that and lateral speed, the two things will do the same job!
Where a light aircraft can gain lift of at say 80mph, then a vehicle of the same weight with the same wing surface area, will gain lift at the same speed but in rotational terms.
This may vary somewhat by design, yet the rotational speed required by the wing-mesh would be many times less than that of a propeller or helicopter blades. Ergo less noise, and less wind.
