Imagine the panic trying to park that in a crowded area.
On the plus side he can pretty much choose which parking space he wants, i'm almost 100% sure no-one would argue with him.
Can just imagine his friends asking for a lift to school and him replying "yeah mate, just cling on tight and whatever you do, don't bloody move .... why are you crying?"

No, not a middle schooler but a guy who only graduated middle school and has no higher education.Traun said:
Wuhan is about as rural as New York, no idea where you got that from. Unless by "rural" you actually mean "as pleasant as a freshly manured field" which I'd wholeheartedly agree with.Earnest Cavalli said:
"It's like a callback to Soviet-era engineering when devices were constructed to function at all costs, even if that meant decapitating a few dozen hapless volunteers."
I'm sorry, what the hell are you talking about? You know absolutely nothing about Soviet engineering. Things were crude and massive in size, yes, but not dangerous to the users by any means, Stalin and Lenin weren't your bloody Saturday morning cartoon villains.

Just outfit it with curved blades, give it better pitching control and you've one hell of an anti infantry weapon. The Red dragon is rising. And I need to invest in a thick shield.
Earnest Cavalli, have you built any functioning flying machines lately? No? Then show the man some damn respect. If it was created as an expression of the maker's spirit, and flew tethered to the ground, I think it shows the creator has a bit more sense about the dangers of the craft than you're giving him credit for.
Mock his hard work if you like- all I'll say on the matter is 'good on him.'

This could be a ride along with the Euthanasia Roller Coaster in a Dr. Kevorkian-esq theme park, just don't count on repeat business or turning much of a profit...

It's cool though because their internet is censored, right? We can openly mock them and make very poor judgements on their education system.
By the way,
"Currently, 18 percent of US 15-year-olds do not reach an OECD-set level of of reading proficiency, compared to 10 percent in China-Shanghai and Hong Kong..."
"The United States has also fallen behind in the percentage of 15-year-olds who are enrolled in school, ranking third from bottom of the OECD countries, above only Mexico and Turkey.
Only eight OECD countries have a lower high school graduation rate than the United States, and in college education, the United States slipped from second to 13th between 1995 and 2008 - not because US college graduation rates declined, but because they rose so much faster in other OECD countries.
"These developments will be amplified over the coming decades as countries such as China and India raise their educational output at an ever-increasing pace," the report said, stressing the need for Americans to invest in education".

This article really irked me and seemed to shy away from the feat of engineering that with so little money he was able to successfully able to design and build a machine that can achieve liftoff and carry his full weight. And to all those people acting shocked that he only had a "junior middle school graduate" qualification, please shit the fuck up. Do you honestly think it would have EVER gotten off the ground if he didn't know what he was doing, or are you really that ignorant.
Instead of telling us about what it was, it was twisted to make it sound like a horror story right out of the cold war american propaganda.
I mean honestly, "Whirling Death Machine" You invented the fucking nuclear bomb. This is an, in the articles original words "a homemade flying device". I know for a fact their have been many similar articles about people constructing flying devices in their backyards and their was no mention of any qualifications whatsoever. Why should this be different.
And the gall you must have to claim in all sincerity that you're education system is any better.
And even in the title you seem intent on fear mongering and conjuring the ideas that everyone in chine has "A dream to build the most insane, terrifying flying machine in human history." I mean honestly. This isn't his dream, his dream is probably much more along the lines of engineering a machine which can fly from his own design.
I don't see many sickles or bloody hammers stuck on there do you?

:O so thats it the chinese are making absurd flying death scythes for there upcoming invasion of the rest of the world
