Ladies and gentlemen...

The AirJelly

An indoor, RC flying jellyfish.

They claim (and, to be certain, I can't find any proof to the contrary) that this is the first airborne use of peristaltic motion as a drive mechanism.

Surprise, surprise...air really IS a fluid. :)

And when it's produced by peristaltic activity, it's also a GAS.

Wish all my landings were that soft!

Hi all,

I'm at home alone at the moment, wife away looking after grandchild while my son disports himself in Cyprus on holiday.

I'm having to survive on my own cooking, leaves a lot to desire. Your peristaltic drive has me wondering if I can personally produce the flotation gas and peristaltic force. Not for indoor flying I guess.
