What matters? Absolutely Everything!

In the last 100+ years we have gone from this:
To this:
And now this:
The Next Gen of aviation has yielded a new spectrum of versatile mobility. The design above has been being developed over the last 12 years. It basically takes the imagination of flight to where ever you want it. What you are witnessing is the VTOL AEROSPACE/Elytron/Converticopter 10S. It is a VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing) aircraft. It can take off from almost anywhere. The aircraft is completeley scalable through algorithmic design. At it's core are multiple redundancies that enable safe yet efficient travel. Redundancies are formatted alongside a multitude of software which operate various sensors inside and outside the cabin.
Sounds crazy right? Well it's not. From the begining VTOL AEROSPACE has focused it's attention on not only the design but what makes the design possible. Enter Computer Vision/Machine Learning technologies and Autonomy!
The engineers knew that in order for this bird to fly it would have to have a complete understanding and vision of it's surroundings, not only near but far. To make this happen our software engineers are developing "360 Bubble Technology?". This will insure that every inch of the aircraft is aware of it's proximaty to any given object or condition. In order to achieve this processors have to run calculations at about 300 million bits per second.
Today, each of us individually generates more information than ever before in human history. Our world is now awash in an unprecedented volume of data. The trouble is, our brains haven’t evolved to be able to process it all. The Proccessing capacity of the conscious mind has been estimated (by the researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi and, independently, by Bell Labs engineer Robert Lucky) at 120 bits per second. That bandwidth, or window, is the speed limit for the traffic of information we can pay conscious attention to at any one time. - DANIEL J. LEVITIN/Fast Company
There is no doubt that the future of flight is that of optionally pilotted aircraft but much attention needs to be spent on how we will mesh technologies together so that they can work in harmony. The hardware is what we can see, touch and feel but the software is mostly out of sight; let's not keep it out of mind!
