To scale this up you would have to build a space tube frame out of something like aluminum . With titanium bits where needed . Then you ' d have to gut the interior to make room for the HUGE gyro that is actually responsible for how this thing flies . You ' d also need to tweak the main engine to run well at odd angles . This is probably not hard . Then you ' d need to make sure a human being was NOT inside the damn thing , as the g forces would be dangerous if not outright smearing you on the canopy . I ' m an RC hobbyist . I ' ve messed with 6 degree helicopters like the one in the video . They are shockingly simple things . A motor to run the blades , some gearing , and a huge gyro . Not a lot else in there . The gyro does most of the work keeping the heli at any particular angle . So the real problem of scaling up is making a gyro strong and fast enough . I seriously doubt anyone besides nasa has ever even tried .
