ABOUT THE DESIGN |
ABOUT THE KIT |
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. |
