The Transformer Plane

Future concepts of planes … not sure a plane that reassembles makes much sense (other than the cool show off effect) … for instance, if one of the three planes is shot down, wouldn’t the remaining config be odd to fly?

    Cool idea… In 1987 on Star Trek: The Next Generation. And again in 1998 on Star Trek: Voyager. How do I get a job rehashing old sci-fi concepts? I got ideas on how to make a cannon. Using only a bamboo tube and minerals!

    US federal research budgets are declining (flat but no accounting for inflation) and a lame project like this will get funded because of a ludicrous animation

    Right? “SUPPLIES” haha. It’s all about PR.

    I don’t see how this thing can save time. Save fuel? Ok maybe. Time? What are they talking about?

    I also like how they precision drop the supplies with a parachute onto a tiny rooftop. Yeah, right.

    It is dumb enough to receive funding though.

    Um, yeah. Someone at BAE has been watching too many anime shows … and what’s with “dropping vital supplies”? I thought the idea was to drop tons of ordnance!
