You could deploy one of these from a larger aircraft - recover - transfer and transport back. Fascinating to see the use cases emerge.
Why?
Because they can. And sometimes, a little bit of that is what the world needs.
Tesla VP for Vehicle Engineering @larsmoravy walked @HenryCatchpole through how the Roadster beats the tire limit. Rubber tops out around 1.0 mu of grip.
Four 20 kW fans, built on the heat pump's compressor motor, suck the car onto the road with skirts, so it holds over 2 g in corners even below 50 mph.
The wing actuators are borrowed Optimus leg actuators. A 200-liter tank at 10,000 psi feeds cold-gas thrusters with more than 80 kN of thrust, about what a single fighter jet engine puts out. 0–60 takes 0.55 seconds as a rollout figure.

100% accurate. The left are the problem we aren’t allowed to talk about.
The left-wing extremist who is accused of murdering my colleague Ann Widdecombe and targeting my friend Nigel Farage "held an extreme left-wing mindset".
Now ask yourself:
Where is the big national debate about left-wing extremism?
Where are the BBC documentaries and podcasts about left-wing extremism?
Where are the calls to warn children in schools and universities about left-wing extremism?
Where are the government 'counter-terror units' stating that if you read, say, Karl Marx or Antonio Gramsci then you are "on a pathway to terror"?
Where are the think-tanks producing major research reports on left-wing extremism and its followers?
Where are the multi-million pound research grants going to academics who investigate left-wing terror?
If it was far-right we all know what would happen. Wall to wall blanket coverage, analysis, and debate.
Does anybody else notice the silence?
And the right are the problem!?! GTF out of here.
It's great @MaajidNawaz is to get a show on @GBNEWS. Here on LBC he challenges a Muslim ☪️who wants Sharia Law.
"Do you aspire to a Sharia state that will criminalise & outlaw homosexuality & adultery?"
"Yes I do." For adultery stoning to death.
"You're worse than the BNP."
Stunning and brave.
A 76-year-old man has appeared in court wearing a burka to deny a charge of wearing the Islamic garment to conceal his identity during a protest.
Timothy Miller, of Southampton, Hampshire, was arrested in relation to an anti-migrant demonstration in Portsmouth on Sept 12 ⤵️

Well said Nick Ferrari… the only sensible presenter on the far left cesspit that is LBC …..
Bahahahaha - This is actually the funniest thing I’ve seen on here all week - nay, all month 😂😂😂
‘Sorry fuel is high - I’ve taken the initiative to advise you to shop around. Good luck’.
Alan Partridge politics.
I know people are worried about fuel prices. And I get it. You get to the pump, watch the numbers climb, and wonder why it's costing so much more than it used to.
The reality is that global events are pushing up costs, and families here at home are feeling the impact.
But I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help.
That's why from today, you'll be able to see petrol and diesel prices on Google Maps, compare nearby stations and find the cheapest option before you fill up.
It's a small change, but if there's a practical way to help people keep more money in their pocket, I'll do it.
This is a left-wing tactic to change the meaning of words: to confuse, destabilise, distort, obfuscate and be pedantic.
Examples: What is a woman? What is gender? What does it mean to be English? What is English culture? Anyone can be English. “The English are a mongrel breed” (Rees-Mogg). Chest feeder. Birthing person.
It’s a trick - a tactic, to break down the fabric of the UK and dismiss our identity. Don’t let them.

Flydubai captain Smit Machchhar: “I knew these might be my final moments, I was ready to die. But I told myself: just open the door, just do it.”
One of the greatest heroes in history 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇱
The Left have got their knickers in a right twist here.
Stating one thing about non-Whites that non-Whites disagree with.
😂 He’s virtue signalling for people who don’t agree. It’s glorious.
I am Egyptian, born and bred. Lived most of my life in Egypt from birth in 1990 until 2016, when I moved to the UK.
If you, as a white British man, moved to Egypt and had a child there with a white British woman, and told Egyptians your kid is just as Egyptian as they are, they'd bloody laugh at you.
Yes, ethnicity and race matter in every damn country.
Oli, please take a seat. You're an imbecile.
Legend.
I hope he’s taken care of for the rest of his life. He saved all the lives onboard - and all the lives of whatever the lunatic was going to hit.
Well done indeed.
This man is a hero.
Captain Smit Machchhar, the Indian captain of flydubai Flight 1073, fought back after being stabbed in the cockpit.
Despite being severely injured, he managed to unlock the cockpit door - allowing Israeli passengers and the Emirati crew to intervene and save all the passengers.
Together, their extraordinary courage saved 174 lives.
Indian. Israeli. Emirati.
Different nationalities. One extraordinary act of courage. 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇦🇪
We wish Captain Machchhar a full and speedy recovery.

From a military pilot on today’s attempted hijacking.
I’ll sum it up for you: Hashem performed an unprecedented miracle today.
Good god. Well done to the brave men who stepped in and prevented a terrible disaster.
How someone could want to murder men, woman and children is beyond me.
Fighter jets were scrambled to intercept a commercial flight bound for Tel Aviv after passengers helped restrain a pilot alleged to have tried to hijack the plane.

🚨BREAKING: The Labour Government have dropped the amount of time a property can sit empty from 2 years to just SIX MONTHS before a local council can apply to take control of it
This is allegedly due to the 'housing crisis' in Britain and it is believed 300,000 homes will be affected
Britain does not have a housing crisis, it has an overpopulation crisis driven by mass immigration
They import millions of people and then tell you they need to seize your property to house these people
Complete Communism
I’ll volunteer to work on it. It’d be an absolute dream and an honour.
Shame I’m a Brit though.
I can only imagine the issues surrounding airworthiness, quality control, assurance, SQEP etc.
It’s my favourite aircraft of all time - so I’d travel to see it fly… but one has to wonder… why they’re doing it??
That’s not a critique btw - ’just because’ is good enough for me.
I’m so excited!
WELL, WELL, WELL. The missing Blackbird apparently has a job waiting for her. Remember NASA 844? The SR-71 that mysteriously disappeared from its display at Armstrong after 26 years? Aviation Week is now reporting that NASA has been contacting former SR-71 personnel and asking them to help put her back in the air.
Not preserve her. Not move her to another museum. Return her to flight.
NASA 844 is the last SR-71 ever built and the last Blackbird ever flown. Her final flight was October 9, 1999: Mach 3.21 at 80,100 feet. Bringing her back after nearly 27 years would be an extraordinary engineering undertaking. The aircraft is only one piece of the problem. NASA would effectively have to reconstruct portions of an entire support ecosystem that disappeared with the Blackbird program.
Yes, I am doing the happy dance.
Somewhere Kelly Johnson just looked over at Ben Rich and said, “See? I told you they’d need her again.”
