Product Description
A Flying Saucer that would actually work.
Having verticle takeoff and landing capability and based on other flying machines that presently fly using the electric turbofans available now; the 54 ET uses 54 electric turbofans to lift the craft and that number would reduce to 20 for forward level flight. The circumferential flaps allow the saucer to fly like an airplane giving it the maneuverability & stabilization it needs; with full roll, pitch and yaw control. Included in the real version would be balistic chutes and 3 grappling hook cannons just incase you have to hang out under a brideg or something while your saucer takes on solar energy ...when sufficiently charged simply power up and hit the cable shear button. That way you can land and continue charging safely. Alas, this one is only a small static model of the above mentioned vehicle.
Until that all becomes a reality, here is the 3-D file for your printing, painting and display enjoyment.
(Display platform and magnetic hovering unit not included.)
