Re: [Cyberpunk Engineering Challenge] #1 Hurricane Hopper
Raw wind speed isn't that big an issue, plenty of planes fly faster than any hurricane winds, the problem is turbulence. A downward jet with a high velocity exhaust should be less vulnerable to a sudden downdraft, so a Harrier might be better than a helicopter or Osprey, but I don't think anything is a really good choice, just somewhat less bad.
