I made a concept for a brute varient on the banshee: the brute hacker. Name is not final, and neither is the concept itself, i can't seem to decide how to make the seat. Anyways, here's a pic (i dont have a scanner so dont blame me if you can't see it well).

The big blades are meant for propulsion, by spinning around really fast (which also makes it "lose altitude" (a.k.a. crashing down) when you dont move forward.

That needs a whole lota work. I don't see how anyone could fit in it, I'm not sure I understand how that is supposed to fly, and frankly it's not even visually pleasing.

Try design from from function instead of form, might make the vehicle make more sense.

Also, i was thinking of hover thrusters on the bottom, to keep it from instantly falling.

I think I see what your getting at with this. Sort of like a giant propeller with a seat on the back. Or a flying version of the chopper in a way.

The first, only thing is i dont know how the seat would look best. Maybe suggestions?

maybe you should make an interior like every other flying vehicle...

Make a seat

Give it a chopper seat.

The balance would not work, As by the picture, it would look like the front weighs more. an could easily fall to the ground

It looks like a mining vehicle.

That is exactly what I though when I saw it.

It will not be big, maybe a bit bigger than a banshee, so i don't need an interior. Chopper seat might be good, i'll look up some references. I think I'm gonna redo some parts, but the blades will stay in. (i have lots of times during my history classes, so i got enough time:p)
Also, maybe adding some metal plates or something all over it will make it more "brutish"

First, I thought it was a grenade.
