Does it just crash directly on top of marines then or how does it work?

Not sure. Better wait for the Chinese to copy it and see what happens to their marines.

How do they load the stores on the wing pylons if this thing is supposedly sitting vertically on the ground?

So they need to develop an entire set of new ground-handling equipment for it. Seems expensive

>flares pointed backwards

Why would an onboard missile logic system in year 2025 ever change target to a new vector suddenly directly opposite of the original target path?

Is it just a sad hope that the hostile missile system is that archaic + the defending aircraft will be far enough away from the rear pointed flares that it'll -usually- increase survivability, or is there something else I am missing?

There is no way missiles are still being produced in 2025 with such shitty path prediction, right?

They were a pita to land. You basically had to park it in the sky and back towards the land by looking over your shoulder. Beep beep beep like a truck.

i thought of this for full size chopper but with also smaller props top and bottom for 4 rotor drone, and the big props might fold or stop spinning to become thin wings when feathered.

Cool but as I don't think it can hover and still use the weapons an Apache would be better for loitering. Might be something they can change with rotating engines similar to an Osprey though would add weight and complexity.

Loading things like JAGM, SPIKE and Griffin on to those pylons vertically isn't going to be easy.

No rotor wing is going to be better than a fixed wing at loitering, pretty much ever

The propellers of the smallest ones only reach up to the man's waist in that size comparison picture. Is it being maintained by the king of manlets?
