I dont get it, what is the point of unmanned vehicle if it is used to transport humans??,,,,UAV are used to minimize human damage, but here, pilot or no pilot, troops are there, so i think it is better to have pilot.

it is mainly used to transport supplies ......they just mean that the space inside can fit humans....well if they can send supplies why not humans?

It says "UAV, carries a gross weight of close to 400 kilos" i dont know what is the volume capacity.

No men operator on board, it meant to carry supply and if needed to evacuate casualties

Good concept but looks Fugly without the paint job...

Well, looks aside (yes it is extremely ugly) - it's an interesting concept. The question is - is it safe or feasible? That thing would be easy to shoot down.

If it does a great job even ugly things seem to become beautiful.

Its functionality is not to please the eye engineers had other problems to solve then the shear look concept
