Sky Cutter

I've been trying to figure out how. My guess is that it's some sort of model with a model airplane engine. You can see a trail of smoke in the video. I just can't figure out how it's flying. I didn't see any wings.

I don't know what's better, the flying lawnmower, or the kickass music :thumbsup:

The kick-ass music in an Irish bar w/ some Jack Daniel's followed closely by the flying law-mower! 😀

Didn't fly as well then.

weird .. the caption at the end of the video says

"Moon Lake's Annual Make a Wish Foundation Airshow 2004"

Still cool. 🙂

Same model, different video.

The other video started with a guy pushing the thing like it was a regular lawn mower, then it took off.

Looks like they've made some improvements to the original design, extra cross wing half way up handle (aileron?), and more power.

 
Hah, pretty damn cool 😀

If you look closely while it's landing toward the end you can see the "handle" and the intermediary bar in between the "handle" and "mower" are shaped more like wings than steel pipe, and my guess is other parts of it are aerodynamic and shaped to provide lift. Well, that, or it's an alien spacecraft <cue creepy music> :Q
