Been giving it a deal of thought this past eighteen days and the nub is what we've to offer that's unique to all of these outlines, and it's the fact that they're all some form of container raised by drones above and below.
The problem since the outset has been that the concept of a two-metre booth that I could stand in exceeds the dimensions allowed (by the GoFly challenge) from the tips of the lowest rotors to those of the highest.
Replacing a booth you can stand in with one to support a seated passenger still requires a height of a metre and a half... which also exceeds the allowable dimensions.
The most practical airframe is therefore a version like this measuring just one metre high that I can stand in, and which still bears out the original concept whilst remaining within the permissible guidelines.
Notwithstanding the original drawing, however, I shall use the 'H' layout for each drone that was preferred after our experience in California.
The patent agent appears to have lost interest so I shall be back-pedalling on the IP for the time being at the same time as wishing Martin Andrews goodbye, and good luck.
It was after all just the two of us who got the machine to the USA for the third phase of the competition, and what we've done before we can do again.
