Because invisibility is never not the name of the spy game, this is a video demonstration of the ‘Phantom Twist’ single-rotor drone developed by researchers at Northwestern University.

One that spins so fast he stands behind a blast shield while testing it. Still, I can’t help but want to bet somebody twenty
