+ColdFusion Please back away from the mic a little. Bass on a vocal is nice, but this is just overkill. I can't even turn the volume up because it gets so boomy.
What if this drone is like a taxi-bus, It can only land on stations that are all around a city and the battery will be switched with a fully-charged one that makes sense to me :-)
Even if a vehicle has the ability to control itself, I would always want the option of the person inside being able to take control. Plus, flying it manually is a lot more fun.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky although I completely agree, there is no way public transportation in the air can go mainstream while allowing manual control, because of the traffic of course, we can't build roads in the air, which means that one would need to be aware of traffic that could come at you from any degree in all axis, the human brain simply can't handle all that in my opinion.
***** yeah obviously, which supports the idea that everything needs to be automated, of course there will be sensors all around the vehicle, that doesn't mean that a human brain is going to be able to keep up with all the input from these sensors.
+Jafar Al-Moosa That's all fine and well until the computing system that controls the craft has a glitch or malfunction. Without any option for manual override in such a situation, it's a case of bye bye birdie.
A "quick little video" is better than most from big established RUclips creators. You, sir, are the fist (and only for now) creator that I support on Patreon.
Inspiring and touching that Ehang was started due to deaths from plane and helicopter accidents. Safety is the first concern of the passenger and hopefully Ehang and other "drone car" manufacturers will do all they can to ensure that. The airline industry can learn a thing or two about safety concerns from these guys. Great video, my friend. Thank you.
There's a lot of discussion regarding a multirotor (MR) vs a single rotor (SR) helicopter. If full-scale vehicles perform similar to professional-grade RC vehicles, which I think they more or less do when it comes to the basics, then here are some facts:-SRs are more efficient due to blade size (more flight time per energy source)-SRs are significantly more stable in windy conditions (contrary to many comments here)-SRs are capable of generating more thrust, in general (larger payloads)-SRs are much, much more agile (again, contrary to some comments here)-SRs are significantly more reliable (more mechanically-based, less electronically based)-SRs are generally less expensive to make-SRs can also be controlled through autopilot systems (not just true for MRs)-SRs can autorotate when main power supply is cut-SRs are much easier to make run on combustion engines (this hugely increases flight time, load carrying capacity, ...)-SRs are quieter-MRs are easier to fly without autopilot system-MRs have fewer mechanical parts and, in this sense, are easier to work on mechanically-MRs are less finicky when it comes to eliminating vibrations (smaller propellers)-MRs have redundancy of motors, provided that they are octos (either flat or co-axial) and still have main power supply intact-MRs are less dangerous to surrounding persons and property (smaller propellers with less inertia)In general, I personally do not think that MRs are a good substitute for SRs, even though both may serve their purpose under particular circumstances. "Drones/Quadcopters/..." are in large part a fad with which many hope to make money from.
International Innovator Never did I claim that you can't put a parachute on this thing. You can and it would be a good safety feature. However I did say they are very heavy. over 50 pounds at the lighter and simpler end of the spectrum for an aircraft of this size but that's with a manual pull cord, that doesn't even account for the extra electronics and sensors required. All of this weight makes a massive difference in rotorcraft which already struggle with power to weight ratios. If the weight limit for the passenger is 230 pounds it's now less than 180 when you add a parachute and that's a GENEROUS estimate.
true but it probably would have a light weight body that is rigid made out of reinforced carbon plastic which is found in the bmw i3 and would save a lot of weight the heaviest thing in there would be the battery and this type of aircraft would be way less mechanically complicated none of the motors would need to be physically connected with heavy shafts and rotors
I believe as you said this is not the whole story, but because of ideas and visionary people like this we can do so much things. I can compare this to VR. Just starting, not for the major market yet, but still growing so fast. The importance here is not the drone itself, but the thoughts and efforts behind it, because there will be another man with a different story, who can say - Hey, I can do this better! Great video as always!
Got some things wrong: The airbus plane was not the first to cross the channel fully electric. the very day before, an electric cri-cri crossed, taking the title from the airbus plane. the 184 is triple redundant, in it's flight control systems, and it can fly safely with a motor or even two out, as long as they are not adjacent. The fact that the FAA won't easily certify it means nothing, as the FAA will not certify important safety fixes for older aircraft, and when they do, it often takes decades, and people can die in the meantime. many operators defy the fAA, and perform the fixes anyway, saving countless lives. for inspection, they swap the older parts back, then have to switch again before resuming flight. The safest, best, most modern aircraft fly under EXPERIMENTAL exemptions, but are not allowed for commercial purposes. The FAA is a rouge agency, which continually violates it's congressional mandates, and goes against the purpose for which it was created, with regard to smaller aircraft. The real place of the FAA is in large, commercial aviation, where they do a great job, and are in their element. they are not flexible enough to deal with anything else effectively. there are a lot of great people working for the FAA, so the problem is not with them per say, but with the structure, and oversight of the organization,a slo with certain corruption within the agency, at high levels. This corruption will become evident very soon. The 184 might not be the ultimate answer, Agreed, but is an amazing step on the way there, and may receive significant adoption. Good for the Chinese, and maybe their progress will shame the west into doing what they should have all along as well. way to go! other than that, great video. tell your congressman/woman to hold the FAA responsible for their actions, and repeated violations of congressional mandates/ reform act.
I've followed ColdFusion since Galaxy Note 1 tutorials. Love the concept back then. Glad you able to maintain the concept and expanded into one of the best channels to talk about technology out there. Wish all the best to you mate. You're such an inspiration. Can't wait for upcoming Nicola Tesla video. Cheers!
What a time to be alive! I am astounded again and again how far we have gotten as a species! The technology we see emerging is like something out of a Science Fiction novel. Thanks, ColdFusion!
Man, I love your videos! from the start until the end. I mean that old vintage start where you show us the old world is the most beautyful things I saw on the youtube, and its pretty touchy. keep up the good work, you have my support :)
Practical uses for this drone may not be in personal transportation. Imagine drones like this delivering products for business. This could be the beginning of a new industry.
Not likely.... This is just a horrible design for a helicopter. It has no redundancy for errors and horrible range. Tell me how this could possible replace a normal helicopter!
+No Google I don't want to use my real name Ahhh, because a helicopter is actually usefull and this flying mashine is not? +Kijana Well it is possible todo it, but its a lot harder and unreliable then a helicopter so WHY do it? Tell me 1 way this is better then a helicopter.
From what I can tell from the little you have let the viewers watch. You are giving a very critical review of a prototype. Basing your opinion on information you have said you don't have. I could have gotten better information from their commercial, which I did, after this video raised more questions.
I prefer the German's Lilium concept you had earlier because 1) more efficient than quadcopter 2) has multiple fans so that single failure is easier to recover from. Perhaps the Chinese or the Americans will design similar.
I wish the whole video was like the last five seconds. sick as shit, just flyin around settin shit on fire. paper goes on tongue, music begins... lovit!
Sidharth Satheesh It would use a larger rotor cos diesel can provide enough oomph. Electric batteries forces it to compromise to low energy designs. But the longer the rotor, the more leveraged power it can provide compared to shorter rotors BUT spinning large rotors requires alot of energy that electric batteries can't provide. Only gasoline can reach that kind of massive power. :( LueLou.. Dj Rucy Helicoters uses diesel aka aviation gasoline, not petrol lol
Hey Cold, if you have ever heard of this corporation called Corning that's known for it's unbreakable gorilla glass, you should totally make a video explaining it's history.
Here is your answer for malfunction. It's on their website Four arms and eight propellers offer great lifting power and safety. Even with one propeller malfunctions, it can still land in the nearest possible area safely. The 184 AAV has embedded with Ehangen fail safe system. If any components malfunction or disconnect, the aircraft will immediately land in the nearest possible area to ensure safety. The communication is encrypted and each AAV has its independent key.
Good update - Like it. Only corrections I would state is airbus did not cross the channel first with an electric aircraft. It was done the day before by a private pilot flying an electric Cri Cri ! Also.. A BRS system would be needed so should a major problem happen a passenger could simply pul the handle and come down on a shoot.
Hahaha. I'm very glad I subscribed to your channel. if not just for the music clips. I almost asked the song at the end. Then I realized I could play it in Firefox and Shazam at same time on my Android. 😊
please make videoes on how big cocacola,ibm,microsoft,sony,nike etc. because your channel was first to make videos on how big series and it is great to watch.
Could you put recommend videos in a way that they are available for access via a phone app (so that when the information button on the top right corner is pressed the recommendations will come up) as I think many people are watching this content on mobile devices Keep up the good work
I think it requires its own license set in levels depending on the automation full semi or full pilot control and size, it also requires a new infrastructure that doesn't exist yet that can handle the new traffic load.
A drone is an unmanned helicopter. Stick a man in it. Congrats. You've got a helicopter, not a drone. Rotocopter? (If that's not trademarked already, I call dibs.)
+Bruce Baker no. unmanned means it operates itself autonomously. since this aircraft is completely controlled by ai, it is autonomous. the man inside it is just the cargo. the man inside has no more control over the aircraft than a box of eggs does. thus it is a drone.
box of eggs can't break the helicopter from inside, but a man can :) It's really semantics at this point. Cars with auto pilot function are still named cars, it's more of a language preference than a need for new category.
Anon Ymous Thanks for the correction. Yeah, I spouted off without even watching the vid...where that distinction was noted. But for me, it blurs the line. "Unmanned", for me, means the design needn't be able to carry and support a person. Small. Or, like a space probe, all the propulsion, control and monitoring. But design neednt be huge to lift person, air, etc
The energydensity of Lithiumbatteries is improved 7% every year. If that continues like this it would lead to a doubling of capacity in 10 years (1.07^10=1.97). That means such a copter could then fly 46 instead of 23 minutes which would greatly increase its usability.
hey there 😎 as long as we're on the topic of Aviation I wonder if you could do a mini documentary on today's Flexwing Design implementation and even the refitting older aircraft with this design, for instance the Boeing 747. thanks
it seems that for a new wave of amazing technologies to finally reach millions of consumers a new breakthrough in battery technology that is cheap needs to happen.
They should create a version of this that only uses 2 blades, one for lift and one for rotation. Can call it the monodrone or helicopter or something like that
I love their idea of an efficient, electric powered private helicopter, and its safety features. But hey, if its a surface thats being used as the computer, it can just as well act as a control feature.This is anyways, just a beginning.
From what I heard, it can get you roughly ~23 miles. I'm sure that will improve tho. Regardless, for any upper class individual in highly populated areas this would be their dream. Cheaper than a chopper, no pilot, linear path towards a destination for ~23 miles! I know the safety problem is in the way but woooww. That would save hours a day. Something people with money would do anything for. A 20 mile drive in SoCal can sometimes take 2 hours. This thing will get u there in 20 min!
2 Points : i ) Should / Could Battery ` recharging ` be replaced with a ` quick release / replace ` Battery ? ii ) As Rotors are side mounted , could a pilot activated Parachute be fitted to the Aircraft ? MFC
This Ehang 184 is actually coming a little bit close to an idea I have had kind of evolving in my mind for years and years (initial idea started back in the '70s really). My idea for a personal flying machine to replace an automobile is a little like this only different. My idea was NOT to have it operate as an automatic drone (there were no drones when I started conceiving this). It would be personally controlled. There would be at least 6 propellers (although my idea originated out of a new concept for the lifting component). Why? So that if any one failed, you would still have complete lift control. Even if 2 failed you would hopefully be able to land safely. If this Ehang 184 is supposed to be so safe, why only 4 propellers (well 8 I guess since each seems to be double, but are all 8 really separate units?)? Also in my idea, the 'propellers' would be much above the main passenger component. This would give it incredible stability. How do drones maintain stability? Does it require computer control to do this? I don't know. Another thing I conceived of, would be it would be somehow integrated into a computer system on the ground (or possibly peer-to-peer) which would make it impossible for any one of my flying machines to either run into another one (if you tried to do this, the computer would override) or run into any obstacles it would find in a global map of the world, which I guess this Ehang 184 does if it can avoid mountains and buildings. In this way, and assuming you could get the computer system to keep track of any other obstacles (such as other regular aircraft flying around), my idea is that it would be virtually impossible for the drivers to crash this thing. Another thing I wanted to do, is, I wanted to come up with some way that you could make sure that the control of all 6 props was not all centrally located. So in that way, again as with the props, you could not have the whole thing fail at once, but only one of the components. I could never think of a way to do this. But you see with this Ehang 184, everything is centrally controlled by the computer. NOT GOOD! If the computer crashes for some reason, you are dead! But anyway, the way I was thinking about this seems to be even more safety conscious than what the Ehang 184 did. I sure would not like to be in a drone without the possibility of control, and certainly not one controlled solely by a Microsoft computer. The most important thing about safety, it seems to me, is to make sure you do not have any point in the whole system where, if this fails, the whole thing crashes!
I've never flown before and whether I'm controlling it or someone else I will be wearing some serious body protection for the ride. Cool concept for sure though.
for an emergency system back up I`d say just deploy a parachute ( car have air bags safety systems right? thus this craft could easily have a parachute safety system )
Is there any hope you could do one on virtual reality? You seem to have touched on it once or twice already but I can't seem to find any dedicated to it. Cheers!!
Needs parachut, and the propellers - like why I don't want to be careless catching a flying drone with my hands. Threrese another one available, it has two propellers that slide and swing out from the body and when it's at fly the propellers get back under the body, and parachut can be used. I don't remember the name now. New stuff too.
The world's first passenger drone, the Ehang 184, has been announced. Is this the start of personal flight? Watch and find out!
+ColdFusion Please back away from the mic a little.
Bass on a vocal is nice, but this is just overkill.

+Julian G. Cheers for that, I've added it in.
+ColdFusion Can you do a video on Sony?? And explain what happen between Sony and Ericsson.
+ColdFusion thank you! please keep it up ))
What if this drone is like a taxi-bus, It can only land on stations that are all around a city and the battery will be switched with a fully-charged one
that makes sense to me :-)
+Atli Tobiasson Yes, and with virtual highways (all drones in one network) you can use the sky way better then the road
spookje111 Yeah, exactly!! :)
+Atli Tobiasson it use too much energy anyway
+Magic_Sowap maybe it doesn't get enaugh, we are expecting an electric battery revolution in 9 years

Even if we get a new super battery, energy has to come from somewhere...

+Jafar Al-Moosa you hit it spot on. The only logical future would have to be automated.
+Jafar Al-Moosa That's all fine and well until the computing system that controls the craft has a glitch or malfunction. Without any option for manual override in such a situation, it's a case of bye bye birdie.
+Physics Videos by Eugene Khutoryansky People are still iffy about automated cars much less an aircraft
Controlled by a Microsoft computer? Imagine if it got BSOD, then it really would be Blue Screen Of DEATH
+Hamza trueeeeeeeeeee, i hope it doesnt run on windows XP

*It should have a parachute on top of the drone (in case of any malfunction) and an air bag at the bottom*
FernandoP1 - Art Zone Productions that's what I'm saying
Parachutes are extraordinarily heavy.
Computer if people are able to ware them then a machine with motors are able to ware them

The first passenger Multirotor ist the Volocopter VC200.
It would be nice if you have mention that.
Do a video on Rasberry Pi! I would love to know how they started!
These adverts are really starting to piss me off. I just want to watch the god damn video
This machine is fascinating. I'd love one.
Dagogo you make just awesome videos....
i have a quick suggestion that their should be a video on how big is IBM
The Ehang 184 has been approved by the FAA for manned testing.
The Bad part is it's not able to carry up to 300 pounds unless it's the 2 seated model. And it's only range or flying time is only 30 minutes.
I think it requires its own license set in levels depending on the automation full semi or full pilot control and size, it also requires a new infrastructure that doesn't exist yet that can handle the new traffic load.
Hi Dagogo, was wondering if you could make a video based on the aircraft manufacturer Airbus. :)
Nice video as always!

The energydensity of Lithiumbatteries is improved 7% every year. If that continues like this it would lead to a doubling of capacity in 10 years (1.07^10=1.97). That means such a copter could then fly 46 instead of 23 minutes which would greatly increase its usability.
We're almost there guys, humanity is one step closer to flying freakin' cars!
+Able D-G I don't want idiots like the ones now crashing down from the the sky because they were drunk or some shit
Nice video ! thanks for sharing!
Loving the new intro C:
Cool video as always!! :D I cant image to fly a plane like that. I would love to try it. :D
hey there 😎 as long as we're on the topic of Aviation I wonder if you could do a mini documentary on today's Flexwing Design implementation and even the refitting older aircraft with this design, for instance the Boeing 747.
thanks
Awesome channel!
"Volocopter VC200" is the world's first passenger drone, but both still have endurance issue " flying times"
i am looking forward to the tesla one, but the im aslo almost always looking forward to your videos
this guy must have million subscribers and viewers
I really love your channel
You listen to your commenters... I like that.
it is a small step but yes this is the future of our transportation
it seems that for a new wave of amazing technologies to finally reach millions of consumers a new breakthrough in battery technology that is cheap needs to happen.
I'm Imagining that my dad is gonna pick me up from school and going back home with that ....
+coldfusion please create a story about James Dyson and his company!
Something slightly on a similar topic you could do is on the company Solar Impulse. I'd love to hear what their deal is
They should create a version of this that only uses 2 blades, one for lift and one for rotation. Can call it the monodrone or helicopter or something like that
I love their idea of an efficient, electric powered private helicopter, and its safety features. But hey, if its a surface thats being used as the computer, it can just as well act as a control feature.This is anyways, just a beginning.
keep up the good work man :)
From what I heard, it can get you roughly ~23 miles. I'm sure that will improve tho. Regardless, for any upper class individual in highly populated areas this would be their dream. Cheaper than a chopper, no pilot, linear path towards a destination for ~23 miles! I know the safety problem is in the way but woooww. That would save hours a day. Something people with money would do anything for. A 20 mile drive in SoCal can sometimes take 2 hours. This thing will get u there in 20 min!
2 Points :
i ) Should / Could Battery ` recharging ` be replaced with a ` quick release / replace ` Battery ?
ii ) As Rotors are side mounted , could a pilot activated Parachute be fitted to the Aircraft ?

"The Jetsons" is exactly what I was thinking of!
It should have a manual overdrive, and a large built in emergency parachute for safe descending in case of mechanical failure.
Yes the range may be small however that could be improved
great video nice and precise
Please take your time with the Nikola Tesla video, I would highly recommend reading any of the available biographies on Amazon.
This Ehang 184 is actually coming a little bit close to an idea I have had kind of evolving in my mind for years and years (initial idea started back in the '70s really). My idea for a personal flying machine to replace an automobile is a little like this only different. My idea was NOT to have it operate as an automatic drone (there were no drones when I started conceiving this). It would be personally controlled. There would be at least 6 propellers (although my idea originated out of a new concept for the lifting component). Why? So that if any one failed, you would still have complete lift control. Even if 2 failed you would hopefully be able to land safely. If this Ehang 184 is supposed to be so safe, why only 4 propellers (well 8 I guess since each seems to be double, but are all 8 really separate units?)? Also in my idea, the 'propellers' would be much above the main passenger component. This would give it incredible stability. How do drones maintain stability? Does it require computer control to do this? I don't know. Another thing I conceived of, would be it would be somehow integrated into a computer system on the ground (or possibly peer-to-peer) which would make it impossible for any one of my flying machines to either run into another one (if you tried to do this, the computer would override) or run into any obstacles it would find in a global map of the world, which I guess this Ehang 184 does if it can avoid mountains and buildings. In this way, and assuming you could get the computer system to keep track of any other obstacles (such as other regular aircraft flying around), my idea is that it would be virtually impossible for the drivers to crash this thing. Another thing I wanted to do, is, I wanted to come up with some way that you could make sure that the control of all 6 props was not all centrally located. So in that way, again as with the props, you could not have the whole thing fail at once, but only one of the components. I could never think of a way to do this. But you see with this Ehang 184, everything is centrally controlled by the computer. NOT GOOD! If the computer crashes for some reason, you are dead! But anyway, the way I was thinking about this seems to be even more safety conscious than what the Ehang 184 did. I sure would not like to be in a drone without the possibility of control, and certainly not one controlled solely by a Microsoft computer. The most important thing about safety, it seems to me, is to make sure you do not have any point in the whole system where, if this fails, the whole thing crashes!
The E-Hang is not the first multi-rotor for human transport. Look up VoloCopter VC-200. Space for 2 persons, 18 rotors.
I've never flown before and whether I'm controlling it or someone else I will be wearing some serious body protection for the ride. Cool concept for sure though.
for an emergency system back up I`d say just deploy a parachute ( car have air bags safety systems right? thus this craft could easily have a parachute safety system )
The best youtuber
ColdFusion is the best!!!
I love your videos. I try to shear them as often as I can.
increase the range with better battery technology, add a force absorbing air cushion used in military air drops under the drone. and a parachute
They should add two parachutes, which pop out like an airbag :)
Is there any hope you could do one on virtual reality? You seem to have touched on it once or twice already but I can't seem to find any dedicated to it. Cheers!!
Needs parachut, and the propellers - like why I don't want to be careless catching a flying drone with my hands. Threrese another one available, it has two propellers that slide and swing out from the body and when it's at fly the propellers get back under the body, and parachut can be used. I don't remember the name now. New stuff too.
