Very cool. Not sure I could get used to those 4 two bladed sets of rotors all around me with no protection if one comes apart shocked
Never mind me and the buzz kill. Been through a few of my 9 lives the last couple weeks. lol

About like the folks who were 60 - 70 years old seeing the first automobile's .

1000's of rednecks would die in one week if they ever became mainstream.

I bet I could have crashed it into one of those trees he was flying through.

Looks cool but I will pass. Way to cramped, I gotta have room to move.

^^^ My thoughts, too. My fat ass wouldn’t get in it.

What’s the load weight? Will it haul out a deer?

Hogs?
Illegals.

I dunno whether I'd want one or not, but I'd sure jump at the chance to fly one to find out.
Posted By: Muffin Re: I Want One... - 11/27/21
What would be worse than losing power?????

Maybe touching a tree with ONE of the rotors???

Only $92,000.

Few years ago I was talking with a friend and the subject of drones came up. We were wondering how long it would be until they used that technology to make a drone piloted by a human that's in the drone. Kind of like an ultra-light airplane. But if somebody is in it and directly operating it then it wouldn't be a drone, right? Aren't drones unmanned aircraft? This thing is pretty cool but it's manned so is it an ultra-light ? Pretty wild concept.

Kind of reminds me of those speeder things they had in the Star Wars movie with the Ewoks.

For $92,000 I’d like to fly longer than 20 minutes at 60mph….effectively it has a range of 20 miles. I’ll wait for battery technology to get better before I buy a brace of them. 😁

Dial me back to my 20s and give me an invitation to fly one. Hell would still be frozen.

That's just a LITTLE more than a new pickup! smile

I'm close enough to the 210 pound weight limit, I'd make it - but always be a bit nervous.
What's the safety factor?

Safety factor? It’s like motorcycling and hang gliding all rolled into one.

Like a typical drone, but larger, and with the controls inside the cockpit instead of held by the guy on the ground. They started making vehicles like this in the 1980s (Popular Mechanics did an article back then demonstrating and discussing them), and they were set to catch on like wildfire, when the FAA declared that you will need a pilot's license to operate one, and that its operation will be restricted by their regulations. That's why we don't all commute to our jobs in them today, like on The Jetsons.

Yeah just the latest attempt.

Ultralite aircraft, powered parachutes, jet packs, etc.

It catches everyone's attention, but the plain fact is, most people are unable to fly them without killing themselves.

Kinda takes the allure out of something when the reality of surviving hits.

Another problem that has always plagued vehicles of that type is range. Most barely have enough power to get off the ground with a human payload, and can't carry enough fuel for more than a few seconds of flight.

Technology has solved a lot of that.

Think flying a drone today vs a remote control airplane in the 90’s.

One is quite difficult, the other, a six year old can do it.

Here's a dozen more personal flying machines. Some look great, some not so much. Some are somewhat affordable, some are for the Elon Musks of the world.

Thats pretty damn cool but it would be a REAL chore to shoot between all those whirling props....

Like sitting in the middle of a Cuisinart. Lol.

It would be a blast though.

Run your atv into a tree and see how you make out.
Posted By: Beoceorl Re: I Want One... - 11/27/21
Hmmm...

According to the specs it has a flight time of 20 mins, 1 H to recharge the battery, and max pilot weight of 210 lbs.:
