The Martin Jetpack - Skip Bad Traffic!
July 30, 2008
Jetpacks are fascinating but have a number of downsides such as the the high cost of running which have you calculating in Gallons per mile rather then miles per gallon and the safety and scare of falling several hundred or thousand feet out of the sky. Glen Martin has created the Martin Jetpack which might change this… is it any good? Read more

Flytech Bladestar
January 10, 2008
Flytech created the unique DragonFly last year which was a seriously different flying RC toy. Now they have created the Bladestar which could kind of be compared to a helicopter in some ways. It has a large rotating blade and 2 rear rotors that are opposite each other. Three sensors help keep it out of trouble by detecting the floor, ceiling and walls. It allows the Bladestar to fly it’s self, or alternatively you can use the remote control. If you want to be truly unique then you can guide the robot RC Bladstar by using your hands to block it’s sensors and guide it around.
No details on pricing yet, but you can look out for launch details over on the official website.

Submarine-based Chopper
October 2, 2007
This cool helicopter can carry 2 passengers and was designed by students at Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and the university of Pennsylvania. It is named Waterspout and can launch from a submarine that is 15m under the ocean and can fly about 260 kilometers. It is capable of also floating in rough water. The coating around the helicopter prevents radar picking it up allowing for safe transit of injured passengers in an emergency. It is small enough to not take up too much valuable space in the submarine.

A store in Mansfield Ohio in the US decided to use an RC helicopter to draw the prize to win a free RC truck. I must admit that this is a fairly creative way of accomplishing this.
Mental RC Helicopter

RC Helicopter flys at great speed
This RC helicopter looks like it is hyperactive. It uses some motor that can be heard being named the super motor on the youtube video above. As can be seen in the video it can fly in all directions at a very quick rate. It seems like the rotor blades are twisting rapidly to change direction so quick as it wouldnt really be possible to stop the blades and spin them in the other direction that quickly.
If you do know how this RC helicopter flys in different directions so quick then post a comment
