    This is cool and all, but I can’t help looking at it and thinking of this thing as a flying vibrator.

    A “dil-drone”, if you will kelly

      But the packaging at the drug store says, “Sub sonic personal neck massager.”

      That’s just the most efficient shape considering air resistance. Bullets, rockets, airplane fuselages etc. all look like that.

        Still looks like a flying dildo.

        Also, the human penis can go supersonic because it too has an air resistant shape.

    The Prowess microdrone, weighing less than 250 grams (8.8 ounces), reached 340.78km/h (211.75mph), setting a world record for remote-controlled microdrone quadcopters.

    At what point will the Vulcans contact us?
    … oh, right, first the WWIII :(.
