Smallish CNC House Constructed from interlocking pieces
This is the Indigo Pine house by the Clemson University Solar Decathlon team.
They claim this house is made fully from cnc'd panels, with no fasteners needed.
As a resident on the southeast my question is, how does it hold up to a hurricane?
Sikorsky S-97 Raider
(Sorry I couldn't find a better pic (follow the above link for better ones though)
The newest military helicopter on the block has some pretty sweet capabilities (if they all pan out).
It can cruise at 250mph (with an even higher top speed) utilizing a rear ducted fan style rotor.
At the top are two counter rotating low drag solid rotors, that can be tilted independently to vector thrust in any direction giving pilots new maneuverability capabilities and a smoother than expected ride.

A more refined ride
I previously posted about an industrial robot arm being repurposed to simulate motion and play video games
Well this time they wrapped a whole helicopter cockpit around the arm....

They are using this as a safe alternative to training new pilots. The arm provides 6 degrees of motion and allows a safe solo flight to be tried without risking a high dollar helicopter.
