Kitty Hawk reveals its secret project, Heaviside
Every time I see a multirotor carrying people, I think of the many times while building them at the beginning of the drone renaissance that I saw 4/6/8 bladed multirotors have an AP failure, a blade break, a speed controller overheat, etc etc and it fell out of the sky, literally.<p>These do not have a glideslope!<p>Sure, a ballistic chute might prevent an onboard tragedy but I continue to wonder about what the flying car gets parachuted onto.  What fires get started?  Who gets crushed?<p>Super cool tech.  Huge accomplishment for the engineers involved.<p>I want to know how this makes a safe unpowered descent.
