I mean, what do you want? The rotor on the bottom?
Nobody patent that, it’s mine!
It’s magic carpet time!
Well, you don’t know what we can find
Good luck disembarking with the motor running.
China doing what it does best: imitation! I don’t even mean that in a bad way, it’s impressive how well they’ve honed that skill.
I’ve had several graphic designs stolen and hosted on Chinese sites for screen printing
I know people who have had people get in contact with them after finding their artwork on any one of a dozen sites for sale making bank, while the artist sits in the dark eating ramen for the 6th month in a row.
It’s not impressive. It’s shitty.
Copying weapons is a completely different thing from an ethical and technical difficulty standpoint over reselling digital art.
Right, I think they have a little bit of everything going on. But even if this was stolen from whatever data breach, they’d need some competent engineers to make it work. Just as much as they may be stealing art, they are immitating a lot of foods that look just like the real thing, and a lot of times for legitimate purposes like store displays. Screw the people who shamelessly steal but give credit where it’s due.
Reverse engineering is a skill. It’s not something we should reward, but it’s something we should respect.
Privatizing knowledge is what has no place being rewarded.
Copying military designs because you can’t come up with your own isn’t impressive lol
If it works, it works…
Citation needed on Chinese weapons “working”
It’s smart to start with a design you know that works first, and then afterwards unique r & d projects can build on good foundations, since getting the first design woking tested their design and engineering pipeline
It’s not imitation, it’s theft.
“I’m sorry sir, the patent for a flying machine with a large rotor on top and the smaller rotor behind is currently rejected for being too broad”
I’ll be honest, to me it looks more like a Mi-28 than an AH-64
The main rotor is definitely looks like a hind’s
