A bunch of one-passenger planes that flock together via software
control in a "V" formation.

Are they ground-controlled by Major Tom or
follow-me-to-Canada? |
|
| |
so not a flock'o'geese powered aircraft ? |
|
| |
[mfd] baked (ie: it's called formation flying), magic (add software) or half-baked (I recall a similar idea here with gliders with joined wings). |
|
| |
Wow [FlyingToaster], you triple mfd'ed him. Special. |
|
| |
//a flock'o'geese powered aircraft// would be too much like [MB]'s Ant Shoes. |
|
| |
Nothing can be too much like my ant shoes. |
|
| |
Incidentally, flocking would work well for
ekranoplanes, as long as they tessellated nicely. |
|
| |
Ekranoplans? Really? Are you deliberately trying to provoke
me? |
|
| |
now hold on, it can be baked, magic, or halfbaked but
only one of those things. |
|
| |
//provoke me?// There's nothing provocative about that. Everyone knows that ekranoplans are (a) seriously uncool, and (b) vastly more efficient, thus making pedal-powered flapping geeseplanes trivially easy. |

Do I have to be the first person to put a million fake
dollars behind this idea? |
