SO there you have it birthplace of the concept of the pocket drones

Years ago, when I was working at Piasecki Aircraft (NOT Piasecki Helicopter) we built an object that they called the flying Jeep. Piasecki was told that Jeep was a copyrighted name, and had to change it to "Geep"

We also built a four rotor aircraft called the Sea Bat. This was in 1954

Hard to come up with anything anymore in flying objects that's new
