The Hexa is an electric vertical-takeoff-and-landing (eVTOL) wingless multicopter. It is developed by LIFT Aircraft, a Texas-based company. In May, the Air Force will start testing the “flying car” that was designed for the commercial market to be used in military missions, including rescuing troops, delivering cargo and conducting security checks over an airfield.

In late March, one of the flying cars was loaded on a HC-130J and was transported from Ohio to Texas. This was a test to prove that eVTOL aircraft fit to be transported by U.S. military cargo planes.

The initial test was with a single eVTOL, while a C-130H could carry up to four Hexa platforms, with newer C-130J models potentially able to transport five or six at a time.

The first eVTOL prototype was unveiled in February 2021, and the first production units were delivered to the US Air Force for testing and air-worthiness certification.

The Hexa isn’t exactly a flying car, it’s better described as a multi-rotor drone, which is considered an ultralight aircraft that doesn’t need a pilot’s license to fly.

Such eVTOL capable of landing without a runway could be used to ferry troops and supplies needed to stand up operations, while also providing a platform for crisis response. The Hexa will undergo tests for all of these.

Right now, Hexa’s abilities are limited and geared toward the commercial recreation market. The aircraft has room for one person and can fly for about 10-15 minutes and cover a range of 10-15 miles, depending on the payload. A person can learn to fly Hexa quickly because many of the flight systems are automated, but Lift plans to develop a fully automated version.

In the future, the platform could potentially serve as an armed overwatch aircraft to protect ground troops.

Even in its current, limited capability, the Hexa could be useful. While it can’t carry as much weight as required to satisfy certain logistics missions, it could transfer smaller cargo.

eVTOL platforms with quiet electric engines and simple sustainment footprints could become key to the Air Force as it figures out how to operate away from large airfields, a concept known as agile combat employment, or ACE.

In a war situation against China or Russia, it is likely that US bases in Europe would quickly be destroyed, for a while or permanently. In response, the US Air Force wants to be able to shift to a disaggregated style of fighting, where discrete packages of aircraft are temporarily deployed to smaller airfields across the globe that may not have large runways or established amenities.

Yawn. Tiny payload. Short flight time. Huge target by drone standards. This is jet-pack stupid.

Albert Pike

It’s a toy, but could be a good wheel chair for their senile President – makes also lots of wind…

Justin

i agree with everything u say. However…. “Carbon nanotube batteries” have been around for 11 years. They’ve got them!

Ryan Glantz

such a joke. they’ve had antigravitic technology since 1956

Noydb

It can only fly for 15 minutes. These electric car/plane people really don’t see the benefit of gasoline and jet fuel.

Robert Ferrin

Well now I have it right from the horses mouth that these are going to replace the F-35 all models as they will reduce their maintenance by 95% which means they can field four or five instead of the one or two and besides increase their air time by another whopping hour, and without a doubt Russia will be knocking on the doors seeking some type of surrender,,

Jens Holm

Is this the horse:) https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/54d5b0118c7c8e017a2b9d1e322608608653c71d44e9649fda0d1dc60857c9e6.jpg

Pave Way IV

Sorry, but this just looks… inelegant.

Tommy Jensen

American design. For us this is beautiful.

Jihadi Colin

Your sarcasm goes over the heads of almost everyone.

Tommy Jensen

Its exactly where the art of joking is.

Jens Holm

Much as You are full of sixpacks Yourself :)

“the people of north amerika accept a level of ugliness in their daily lives nearly without precedent in the history of western civilization”. Yuri Bezmenov

Tommy Jensen

Yuri is right. Its actual incredible disgusting when we know how extremely beautiful the Creation is. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8f966809ecd57c699af394d8f5793c58c1fd3313252ed14a49a5e014f8d9e2c0.jpg

Jens Holm

I thik a Howard use trying to upscale to a very big airplane by conventional methods. It could fly – BUT BUT.

Tommy Jensen

Invisible and soundless Hexa can fly into Crimea in the night of darkness, land on any roof in Sevastopol, and carry out any precision operation, in a maximum short timeframe, for our US Special Forces.

Jens Holm

Angles already do it:)

cechas vodobenikov

maybe can be used by LGBT special forces in San Francisco to police HIV/covid bath-houses

Roy Sonman

Another boondoggle designed to only line the pockets of the pols, crats, cronies and connected involved.

Jens Holm

I see that too. If they upscale it 10 times it probatly can cross the atlantic within 2 days…

Jihadi Colin

Welcome to the latest boondoggle.

Jens Holm

Its probatly a good study in light weight materials and easy to use. But it seemes unpractical in most things.

Several other options are already made and could be innovated at least some.

By own best choise would be ballons filled with dirty hot air from right here.

klove and light

ridiculousness…….. yeah thats the word I just looked up in wikipedia….

and guess what I found under Ridiculousness..

Hexa-eVTOL

over and out-

Another “green” initiative to make the PC-obsessed USAF, Greta-compliant!

Arch Bungle

Hey look! A Flying target, that can be taken out by a $10 drone.

– they are temporarily closing the Churches, which will later be closed definitively Temporary limits are being imposed on you regarding travel from one country to another, preparing you for the arrival of the “microchip” (2), without which you will not be able to buy or sell, nor to leave your home or receive medical assistance; you will not be able to move from one place to another if you refuse to be marked. (Rev. 13:16,17) Communism is advancing: it has not disappeared, it is alive and is advancing towards its goal, and My children will suffer.

Message from the Blessed Virgin Mary To Her Beloved Daughter Luuuzzz e Maria March 14,2021 RevelacionesMarianas.com

Beloved children of my Immaculate Heart:

RECEIVE MY MATERNAL BLESSING…

I see with pain how you are being led further away from My Son at a time when a great part of humanity do not feel the need for Him, and you will therefore rush to meet and accept the Antichrist (1) and his falsehood, if you do not awaken from your spiritual lethargy. (Col 2:8)

You are living in a great pit where you are being told how to work and act….

Without wanting it, you are captive to the elite; you are in domestic concentration camps, making you insecure, diminishing your ability to think and reason…

Lukewarm in Faith – they are temporarily closing the Churches, which will later be closed definitively, and you, children, see this as something normal in the context of what humanity is living through at this moment.

CHILDREN, MY SON’S FAITHFUL PEOPLE, YOU ARE LIVING IN ALL SORTS OF WARFARE; you do not see weapons like those used in wars, but war is growing before your eyes. Temporary limits are being imposed on you regarding travel from one country to another, preparing you for the arrival of the “microchip” (2), without which you will not be able to buy or sell, nor to leave your home or receive medical assistance; you will not be able to move from one place to another if you refuse to be marked. (Rev. 13:16,17)

IN VIEW OF THIS, IT IS NECESSARY FOR YOU TO DRAW CLOSE TO MY SON, TO KNOW HIM, TO LOVE HIM, TO BE FAITHFUL TO HIM AND TO LIVE BY HIS LOVE SO THAT, STRENGTHENED, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO ADVANCE IN THE MIDST OF THE SPIRITUAL BATTLE AND OF GLOBAL POWER.

Communism is advancing: it has not disappeared, it is alive and is advancing towards its goal, and My children will suffer.

Pray, My children, pray, pray: the Balkans will make news for humanity. (*)

Pray, My children, pray: without an economy Europe will be prey to invaders dressed in red.

Pray, My children, draw near to My Son without delay: conversion is urgent in order for you be worthy of Divine Protection.

Pray, My children, examine yourselves within: the Warning is approaching.

Pray My children, pray for America, it will be scourged.

Pray My children, pray for Mexico, it will be shaken.

You view the Cross as suffering: My Son gave you the Cross of Victory and yet you reject it in favor of worldly idols that offer you distraction. AND ETERNAL LIFE? YOU WILL LOSE IT BECAUSE OF A MOMENT OF FOLLY.

CONVERT: IT IS URGENT THAT MY CHILDREN CONVERT, SO THAT WHATEVER HAPPENS WOULD FIND THEM STRENGTHENED IN FAITH, IN LOVE FOR MY SON. (Acts 17:30)

Attention, children! For various diseases, I have mentioned by Divine Will the use of pine. (3) The Father’s House does not abandon His children, warning and protecting them in advance.

Keep up love for your neighbor; do not lose your inner peace. The enemy of the soul, the devil, is fighting against My Son’s People – he insists on your being presumptuous, he induces you to be aggressive, to impose yourselves, to be impertinent, he feeds your “ego” to the core, so that you would be a stumbling block for your brothers and sisters.

Little children, love one another, be bearers of peace; keep in mind that you must remain united to the Divine Will.

Pray; prayer is the means for meeting My Son; receive the Sacraments; be worshipers of My Son wherever you are – true worshipers, giving testimony to the Holy Spirit who dwells in each one of you.

Beloved children of My Immaculate Heart:

I BLESS YOU, I PROTECT YOU: REMAIN UNITED TO DIVINE LOVE. COME TO MY HEART: WITHIN IT YOU WILL BE SAFE.

Do not fear. I bless you.

Mother Mary.

(1) About the antichrist… OUR BLESSED VIRGIN MARY 02.08.2019

MY CHILDREN, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION! … The Antichrist is walking in the world, is acting in the world, is moving his tentacles in order to confront you, to offend and crush you, to lead you to commit more sins, to make you despair, to destabilize you emotionally. He is moving all the tentacles he has in order to go against My children, and you do not react to this.

OUR BLESSED VIRGIN MARY 01.24.2019

Beloved children of My Immaculate Heart, IT IS NECESSARY FOR HUMANITY TO RECOVER THE AWARENESS THAT GOD IS EVERYTHING FOR MAN. Humanity has gone astray, has taken the easiest route, disobeying and surrendering to the one who will then become a torturer for man himself, becoming the oppressor of all. The impostor has presented himself with great eloquence, managing to go unnoticed in the eyes of humanity, feigning humility and submission. You do not know, My children, the extent of the hatred that feeds the heart of the antichrist; his thirst for destruction and death is unlimited, possessing the power that, in due time, entire nations will hand over to him, which he will then persecute without a truce until he annihilates them in his desire for power.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST 10.22.2018

Seek Me before it is too late! The son of iniquity will come, taking My place and confusing those who do not recognize Me; he will make them persecutors of their brothers and sisters, and servants of evil.

AT THE INSTANT YOU ARE LIVING IN THE PRELUDE TO WHAT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED…

Those who serve the elite, which sends out the directives of the son of iniquity, have set about confusing those who are Mine so that they turn away from Me.

The son of iniquity is sending out orders so that his followers cause instability in the world through direct confrontation with the Divine Law, so that his followers revolt against the Sacraments, rejecting the Divine and accepting what is of man.

(2) About microchips… THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY 01.14.2019

HUMANITY WILL EXPERIENCE PURIFICATION, IN WHICH IT WILL BE SERIOUSLY TESTED BY EVIL; it will tempt it as never before, it will lead it to cruel instants, trying to make you deny being a child of God. Evil’s striving will reach its culmination with the goal of leading My children to evade the pain of that cruel instant, offering themselves to be marked in order to obtain the benefits of those who will have whatever is necessary in order to live without needing anything.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST 04.29.2018

THIS FORM OF CONTROL WILL INCREASE WITH THE IMPLANTATION OF THE MICROCHIP; YOU, CHILDREN, DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO PLACE THIS SEAL OF EVIL IN YOU.

THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY 07.30.2017

DO NOT PLACE ANY CHIP IN YOUR BODY: THESE ARE THE PRELUDE TO THE MICROCHIP BY WHICH THE ANTICHRIST WILL DOMINATE HUMANITY.
