I think I’ve had enough, couple of the flying vehicles or hovering crafts that we’ve seen before, none of them has given a definite answer that they’ve achieved a ready product for the market. What about this? Another hovering craft that is made by a Chinese company?
The China-made UFO-like aircraft has been spotted hovering around in the skies of Shanghai recently. This UFO-like craft is said to be able to reach a maximum height of 1,000 meters only. And it can reach a speed of 80km/h. The Chinese UFO is a disc-shaped craft, which is 1.2 meters in diameter and weighs 10 kg.
The UFO-like aircraft has cost and taken the Chinese company over $4 million and 12 years respectively for developing it. The craft is unmanned, equipped with one propeller, and consumes methanol fuel. It can take off and land vertically, and hover in the air.
In the picture, the China-made craft looks kind of clumsy. It looks like it’s made of some junks or recycled parts of some disposed machines. The suggested uses include aerial photography, geological surveys and emergency illumination. Since it’s an unmanned craft, it shouldn’t be any big deal to get a ready product out soon in the market.
