hey that's pretty cool, anon.

Have they figured out the gearbox problem?

>>831766
Yes, they put in a manual for increased control, higher reliability and easier maintenance.

I think your rear plasma thruster engines aren't attached to anything, my guy, you might want to look into that

>>831769
Sirs if may I address, yes the gearbox but the clutch issue?! and the plasma conduits fuel injector... it is an issue that needs addressing even before real trials

Your ignorance regarding plasma thrusters is on full display. I've been designing PTs for decades andvhave perfected the craft. PT gather matter from their environment.

that's pretty well redacted, is it AI?
btw, here's my war-v-tol concept, $0, yw
it needs an extra y-axis propeller on the front to compensate but you get the picture

>>831789
You probably mean x axis. It's ok, nothing ground breaking, but it could be used in war.

Yes most of it is redacted by AI because it could have contained information that is sensitive. But this is the main idea - to make it more efficient per dollar spent. Ultimately what is fighting is total war budget x efficiency, so that means the training of the personnel and the machinery employed to further the means - a logical/technical problem. If one side comes up with more points in that equation - they win the war. Most of it depends on what mechanical / logical means you choose so long as personnel isn't completely incompetent or improperly managed (which is again, the job of properly trained personnel). You could say creativity/genius also plays a role, and down on the micro level - the warrior spirit too, but we will see less and less of that (knife fights), and less and less of actual creative solutions - the future of battlefield will be dominated by actual smart systems. Keyword being - smart. Making the right decisions from hiring people at the factories all the way to squad management, aiming, attack cooridnation, and let's not forget, perhaps most importantly - formulation of objectives, which is the true downfall of armies. They're stupid and rotten before any fighting has even begun.

I'd wager no longer than 10 years from now there will be almost no heavy machinery or explosives involved at all - all wars will be won before they even began (no hot stage). Because that's efficient. It's an archaic concept - conventional war. And the powers that fight will be so asymmetric that nobody will even know what hit them, but they'll be already out of the fight. Humans stand no chance.

the axis can be defined by one, as was the case in the drawing and is also represented in it to aid the discussion of the propellers
different CGI software defines the axis as they wish, I took the traditional x/y axis, x for horizontal and y for vertical, z for depth

that leads to a toy drone with an artillery head strapped into it, as it is happening in ukraine
