I don’t want to live on this planet anymore
Fuck these land-dwellers. Fuck the idiots. “Planes are a thing of the past”. “A girl that builds an airplane, LOL”. You know what, fuck you all, motherfuckers. I can’t hear you over the sound of 45 kW of solar power and 180 kW of brushless engines. Wait, these little shits are silent. I can actually hear your whines. Fuck my life.
Yeah, no landing gears, I don’t plan on landing. There’s one person I care on this losers’ planet and she lives by the sea. Landing strips are for dodos.
I don’t go fast no, I will never go fast enough to get away from your ugly assface. I go up. My plane feeds from the sun and I feed from her plants. Got myself enough batteries to last through the night. Enough wing to rise over the storms. And enough e-books to not care for any company.
Tired of arguing it is impossible with idiots who ignore it was done decades ago. Apparently Helios and Solar Impulse are fake news. Get lost techbros who can’t NASA.
No, I don’t take passengers, you want to go up, you make your own. Get through your thick skull the equations of flight and power efficiency, and understand that for every percent gained anywhere, you can get half a percent more and a fistful of kilograms. You can choose to waste those on entitled meat or on chill non-judgemental plants. Guess which diet is better for physical and mental health.
No you can’t follow me, you can’t @ me, Saint Xyla grant me the strength to endure the bullshit noise that still goes through the radio.
I hesitated to tag it [Fiction][Sadly]
To be fair. My morning has been shit. But yeah, the planet is fucked and our species is to blame :/ Thanks for sharing your writing though :)
Have you thought about an air balloon instead? Much more energy efficient and probably more realistic.
That plane generates energy. I don’t see what you mean by being more efficient. You don’t use any fuel or non-renewable and you actually extract CO2 from the atmosphere as you go. And as the text mentioned, it is realistic and such planes have stayed up a whole night (made by a person holding a world record in air balloon travel btw). 2 persons solar plane was a reality in 2016. We are talking sci-fi Saying that we will get slightly better materials, motors, solar panels and batteries in a few decades is not a huge bet.
Actually I wanted to write a story about a flying platform: a slow huge device, perpetually up, that you can land on, that shows what you can actually achieve when you do have the tech to stay up, above the clouds and with enough battery to stay up through the night. This is just a way to flex my writing muscles.
