  • Without going into the aerodynamics, which plenty of others have gone into, the main problems I see are:

    • The structural integrity of the wings is effectively kneecapped by those 2 rotors. There’s almost no material remaining where the wings meet the body and there’s a lot of force that needs to transfer through that area.
    • Unless the center of gravity is within the triangle defined by the rotors, you’re going to have a really bad time trying to control that thing during vertical flight.
    • Where would all the fuel and drivetrain for 4 props (which all take up significant space) live? There is almost certainly minimal room for any sort of cargo or payload.
    • Why would you want a “thick unitary” frame (I’m assuming you mean unibody here)? We put thin skin with a supporting skeleton on aircraft to reduce the weight of the craft itself without sacrificing too much rigidity, which makes more weight available for fuel and/or cargo.

    Is this a generated image? In addition to the font being the one that generated images tend to use, there’s some callouts here that also just don’t make sense: the double “pure one-piece static frame” and “thick, unitary body frame” callouts are, I think, saying the same thing in two unintuitive ways, and along with the “long clean wings” callout, none of them really have anything to do with the design concept here. Additionally, you’ve repeated the “maximum efficiency winged vtol configuration” and “cheapest minimalist one-piece construction” notes on the side, neither of which are necessarily true or provable from first principles based on the design- quite the opposite, if anything.



  • I get what you’re saying and agree with you that there tends to be an elitist slant within this community, but that courtesy is a two-way street. I don’t think it’s that much to ask that people to put in the bare minimum to respect the spaces they enter without having to be cajoled to do so by others, and in turn, I do my best to respect the communities I visit both online and offline.

    I actually rescinded my downvote after they added the tag because they were following the rules at that point, in spite of my misgivings about the project.


  • If I read the page correctly, the project was launched in the last couple months. I’m not seeing many reviews or demonstrations online yet, but I also didn’t look very hard.

    I personally don’t have any interest in mostly vibe-coded projects and won’t be trying it.

    That said, I’d be curious to hear from anyone who has tried it. It’s certainly welcome to see open-source competitors popping up for AEC software.

    Elsewhere in this thread, I can’t seem to get the link on my phone:

    Rulues was not readed, but i do know most people do not want AI code. So i did know what the issue you point just from your comment

    I will not hold post about great FOSS project becuse of AI code.

    Thanks.

    They admitted that they chose not to read the community rules and appear to have assumed that they were not allowed to post about AI projects, yet chose to post anyway.

    Also, translation tools are widely available on the Internet to the extent that they’re built into most browsers at this point. While they’re obviously not as good as actually being fluent, they work fine for getting the point across. I’ve used them to read non-English sites with success, even if I maybe missed some of the subtleties of the original text.

    It would be far less frustrating if they had at least attempted to read the rules and made a mistake in trying to follow them.


  • To quote from another thread about this program:

    Claude directly has over 1100000 lines of direct code contribution. It has pretty much the same amount of code committed directly as the creator has.

    His entire coding history before Claude consisted of changing readmes or searching and replacing project name text or modifying a dead link to his own link.

    Suddenly in 4 months, without ever producing actual code before, he becomes a very competent coder enough to tackle mCAD, a notoriously difficult coding task that takes many many years with teams to make meaningful progress on?

    That is vibe coding.

    And his co-contributer “gianlucafiore” is exactly the same story. Has literally only made issues until LLM coding got released and then late 2025 (December) switched to making commits that he badly copied from an LLM such that some of the commits are literally one full line (as direct in-file working of the LLM wasn’t as accessible then)

    That is vibe coding.

    So the top 3 contributes are

    1. An LLM
    2. Someone that only has committed any code via an LLM
    3. Someone who has only made issues before beginning with an LLM and submits clearly generated code

    There is likely no human-made code in the entire project besides changing a couple links.

    If a program written almost entirely by Claude under somebody who has not previously demonstrated any actual competency in this domain isn’t vibe coding, I really don’t know what is.
