Someone figured out that you can have adjustable blades on a horizontally mounted axis and built a 4 wheel like heli style machine.
I like the safety of having the spinning blades outboard rather than overhead.
Should have linked to non gay channel of the actual company working on this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2qkhmz4z1E
This can easily be a new approach that hybridizes aeroplanes + helicopters. You could either build these and stick wing and horizontal propulsion to get fast forward motion (although this can self propel forward anyway on its own) or you could build these into a system that can be attached to aeroplanes to give them vtol capability.
