About the Design
Designed by Daniel Simon for the 2013 Tom Cruise vehicle "Oblivion," the Bubble Ship melded the "whirlybird" lines of the classic Bell 47 helicopter (1946) with those of a dragon fly. The craft featured rotating VTOL engines as a cockpit that swiveled along with the upper and lower machine guns fixed to its bubble canopy. If Apple made helicopters, it would probably look like this.
