Rather than hovering this vehicle drives on its wheels, pushed onto wall with the copter.

A personal version attached to your back allows you to simply climb up a mountain or building wall.

       [+], but walking up a wall this way is going to be at least as difficult as climbing a ladder.

       If the rotor exerts a purely horizontal force then I think you'd still fall down a smooth wall. It would be like trying to crawl along the floor with 80kg pulling you backwards.

       If you slip... the 10,50, 80 whatever kg (100,500,800 Newtons, I know) will be forcing your face into the building while the other 80kg drags you down. Not fun.

       Probably work well for walking across the ceiling.

       Well, why not angle it a bit to support its own weight as well s some of your own. Just make sure you always have some force towards the wall since your contact with the wall is the only control you have.
