Yes that is very cool tend2it. So I guess the air created by that ducted fan passes over that curved surface and creates lift. I don't think those things would fly very well in any siginificant wind though.

This high tech grenade launcher blows things up very precisely with the ability to launch multiple rounds in succession. It also launches something called a HUNTIR (High Altitude Unit Navigated Tactical Imaging Round) round which deploys a video pod with a parachute and wireless downlink to a height of around 700 ft. It was featured on a Discovery Channel show called Future Weapons.

I took the T-Rex up for a little hover practice for the first time. I have to agree with Lacey, the 600 is awesome! After some slight trimming, it would sit in a 4' hover without any input control at all. It's more stable than the DF with the Ti on. It was a little nerve-wracking lifting off the first time, but immediately I realized it's just rock solid and it isn't going to do anything unexpected. I had RC & Me set it up so for maximum stability for AP work, and it has longer, weighted flybars. There's no D/R or Expo settings needed, and it's rock solid. I tell you if you've never flown a ship like this it is an amazing experience. It weighs 6.6 lbs, the 4' rotor roars and the BL motor screams - I'm hooked! I figure it should be able to lift 2 lbs pretty easily.

Sky, The Eyeball Cam is pretty amazing. They can roll it down a hall or into a room and it rights itself. You can invert the image if you use it upside down. It has pan and zoom, but no tilt.

I have seen that before either on Tactical to Practical on the History Channel or Future Weapons on Discovery. They just tossed that ball into a room or down some stairs and the self level circuit corrected the image. I guess you could just mount the ball to a small tilt platform with a tlit servo to get your tilt function on the helo. How much does it weigh? I couldn't find the weight on that site.

It weighs about a pound - it's extremely rugged and a bit daunting to watch them throw it down a hallway or into a room, considering the amount of electronics and optics inside. It's heavier on the bottom and unless it gets jammed against something, it always ends up sitting upright on its base. They also attach it to a pole for looking into attics or on a rope for lowering down stairwells, etc.
BTW the demo today went great. Looks like hopefully we're still on track for the training program. We're thinking that two platforms -the SAVS and the T-Rex - should just about cover all our requirements.

I shot this for CNN Headline News and Univision last Monday, July 2, 2007. The police video actually shows the crane falling on the car! I couldn't get the SAVS up because of the news helos. I got some good ground shots though.
I operate my own breaking news video website in my area and below is the version that is available on my site with more shots than CNN and Univision used. It also has interviews with the officer that caught the crane falling from his dash camera and two other eyewitness interviews that CNN didn't use.
