The Bat!

So I found this amazing machine called the Bat, featured in the upcoming movie The Dark Knight Rises. A hovercraft, jet, helicopter, all in one! An amazing engineering goes behind the machine. Though it was never used in its function, but the way they has shown it, amuses me. How about tearing it apart and let's see if it can be made in actual practice!

    Lot of focus is on the design. Let us keep in mind that as it is featured in movies, it is made more for "Show-Off" rather than "performance".

    its one hell of an idea. and it does not fly in actual. check out the trailer 3 of TDKR,

    The kind of machines which are shown in most modern movies are just the results of some high-end imagination and cannot be fabricated in reality.

    The Osprey CV22 can do basically the same thing i guess. It can take off vertically and also has gas turbine engines for forward thrust. Its like a chopper and airplane in one:

    Yep During take off the airfoil blades are in a horizontal orientation like a helicopter and during flight vertical.

    Splendid job! 👍 #-Link-Snipped-# Can you ask him to join CE and share a few insights with engineers here?

    PS: Also, you can ask your friend to share a press release of 'India's first vertical landing project' with us. 😉 (if he wants everyone to know that is.)
