Flightline 103c - Flying Saucer

(1 Jun 1996) STORY
FLYING SAUCER
Aviation designers in Russia are developing the world's first passenger carrying flying saucer. The aircraft is expected to revolutionise many concepts of aerodynamics. Flightline has footage of prototypes of the saucer being tested. It's hoped that the final full-scale model will be able to carry some two thousand passengers.

    @@MarketMiker All of this is about humans pretending to have flying saucers like the extraterrestrials flying saucers. It won't happen because the materials needed are not from this planet earth. Technology millions of years advanced then what humans have. That is what is important to know. It's not a game.

    Sack AS-6. Most likely based on the 1930s ample extraordinary experiences of the Arup planes from Indiana (See the "flying heel-lift" youtube) See also the 1930s Nemeth "parachute plane" which also did very well, and probably informed Arthur Sack. See the modern Rowe "UFO' light plane

    "If it looks good, it'll fly good" is a refuge for mediocrity and ignorance. This model flies, and does pretty well. See also videos of the modern Australian Rowe UFO light plane. The Arup S-2 from the '30s, (see the "Flying heel-lift" youtube) the Nemeth "Parachute plane" of the '30s, the Eshelman "flying flounder" of the '40s. All circular or very-low aspect-ratio, all notably quick on little power, all super-STOL. All also ignored by buyers or makers, though they did well. Also the Horton "Wingless" of the '50s which also flew well through a long test series before being killed by Hughes. Very much like this, though without VTOL jets or amphibious ability. We hear the obligatory red herring "If they were so good, why isn't anybody flying them now?" If this EKIP lifting fuselage makes you scratch your head, those listed above will make your head explode.

    Yeah this doesnt make any sense at all. Over $1 billion usd on it? Doubt that. It clearly cant get off the runway very far and the only footage in the air showed it flipping over and falling. They showed normal turbine engines being worked on so it doesnt use a new type of propulsion. So its a terrible design using regular engines to do nothing.... and 14grams of fuel vs 40grams makes no sense given it uses the same type of engine. Clearly it was some kind of scam as its decades later and we still dont have giant russia saucers that can "carry 2000 people" lol
