On the long side, but plenty of overlapping topics to stuff that shows up in here. Carrol does a great job explaining things without any of the "people who don't subscribe to my side of things are stupid" that is so often seen.

Bandwagon Bandwagon Do you know of any tube/missile shaped drones that operate horizontally while in motion? The only one I can recall are the Spirit UAS's but I could have sworn they were vertically oriented only.

Not commercial, but I've seen one similar to that. Some guy was building one ~10 years ago and posted it on DIYdrones.com. it had counter rotating blades on a central shaft. I remember watching a video of it taking off vertically and hovering on a test flight. I believe he was going to try doing something like an EDF version, and eventually try to get it to tilt into forward flight.

I can't remember the name though. Pretty sure it's an old aircraft design he was using and not something he just pulled out of his ass.

Edit:
