Google patent reveals collaborative rescue tools.

Google patent reveals collaborative rescue tools.

Another tailsitter coming out of Google, this time with a canard up front. Another job for a KK2 or PX4 stack board me thinks. Its still going to have issues with blowing over on landing. Although if its big maybe not.

This tail sitter looks like the modern child of the University of Sydneys T Wing Perhaps that’s even what it is. With petrol power it would go much further, faster and higher than an electric version. (It might actually be practical)

They don’t actually say they will use it just cite it as an example. Transitioning VTOLS must be top of mind over there in Mountain View.

Is it too nerdy to recognize these things ;-)
