Defender's do not fly very well

Warning, if you were planning strapping wings on to your Land Rover to see if you could get airborne, then there are many things to think about such as aerodynamics, power to weight ratios, license requirements, etc. This video I think shows the result of some secret R&D by Land Rover when they were commissioned to produce a flying offroader. The results are not good.

impressive modelling. I like the way the suspension seems to work credibly.

actually, there have been floating rovers, and rail rovers, seems someone ought to do an air rover, really.

wonder if you could model one in mickeysnot flightsim?

That music wasn't by Mozart last time I heard it.

I think he would have done much better had Clarkson not been the test pilot. Derek
