Identified Flying Objects

Disc shaped aerospace VTOL crafts

IFOs (Identified Flying Objects) have nothing to do with UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects). My definition of an IFO: A disc shaped aerospace craft made by humans. It should have flight characteristics as shown in the animation: Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL), hovering, and flight in any direction.

Most IFOs build so far have poor flight characteristics, but note that most were build a long time ago, before the computer and all. Today's technologies can even make a brick fly like a fairy...

The chemical rocket engines of today, that repel on onboard-mas, will never bring us far into space.
For IFOs to fly better than traditional aircraft and rockets, new techniques need to be invented first, and therefore a better understanding of elementary things like: energy, space, mass, gravity, and last but not least; psychology.

What IFOs have been build? How to make an IFO? How could we design the future of space travel? Surf my site!
