Future RC is here...thrust vectored VTOL Star Wars TRI-JET

[dominicm]

Created by master RC designer and builder Dietmar Metz. This is the finished Star Wars Tri-Jet being demonstrated at a trade show in Germany.

 

Quite amazing degree of control for an electric ducted fan jet.

That seems like a better concept than a multirotor drone. No exposed blades as well. I wonder if it uses less power.
