Enough "lift" for helicopter flight

[Saberwing40k]

This one not good?

Looking at it, it does seem a bit on the short side.

nope, it's to small, and not variable pitch.

I don't think that will work,

the air is probably to thin at such high altitude (i'm not an expert tho but it seems logical)

unless you to to such high altitudes and fly the lego model in a compressed air tank

you fly it inside the aircraft where there is atmosphere/air at a pressure sufficient to prevent the pilot/astronauts blood from boiling. i don't know what the pressure is, but i suspect it is in the 'normal' range. even if it is a pressure like you'd get at 10 -12000 feet where a pilot would be looking at needing oxygen in a non pressurised aircraft?? or even higher? where they could use a higher concentration of oxygen at lower pressure levels?? but before blood boiling levels of low pressure, there would still be a 'gas' that the moving rotors would create a pressure differential in. at a certain height/distance the gravity would be low enough for the pressure differential created by the rotors to lift the lego.

At Specialisterne.com we made a copy of the 'Lego World BLIMP':

You can see the very first test in a gym here:

As soon as lego brings out this I'll be buying it.

Yea....not likely to happen. I think even if it were possible for Lego to create elements that could lead to a flying contraption we might never see them. Too much of a safety hazard. Probably the same reasons we may never see something as powerful as the rc buggy motor again. Too much liability
