- Chinese manufacturer Ehang has unveiled the world's first passenger-carrying drone, which will function as a pilotless aerial vehicle.
The Ehang 184 drone measures around 1.4 metres high, and features eight propellors held on four arms that can be folded into the vehicle's body for storage.
According to the manufacturer, which was founded in 2013, users would enter the one-seater vehicle and input their final destination using a 12-inch touch screen located in front of the seat. The vehicle's computer would then calculate the quickest and safest route and transport its passenger there.
Ehang has called the vehicle the "safest, smartest and eco-friendly low-altitude autonomous aerial vehicle aiming on providing medium-short distance transportation solutions".
The 184's body is composed of a fibre-epoxy composite, while the frame and arms are made from aluminium alloy. The vehicle can remain aloft for up to 23 minutes, and can achieve a maximum speed of 100 kilometres per hour and an altitude of 3,400 metres. The 184's battery pack takes around four hours to recharge.
The company says the drone is designed so that even if one propellor fails, the vehicle will still be able to complete its flight. It also incorporates the "Ehangen fail safe system", which means in the event of a malfunction the drone will immediately land in the nearest available area.

I knew it was only a matter of time before quadcopters would be carrying people. This is only the beginning, the start of the flying car.
+Spencer England mcflay ?
+Spencer England Octocopter
+Andy Casbo You're correct.
+Spencer England This is the end of cars, the beginning of air popular transportation! Imagine a world without roads!
the flying car that never was.
I love how all the videos of this thing unmanned & in flight are CGI, haha
I hope your dreams come to fruition.
Make it small and light enough, it can carry a parachute. Sounds like a good idea as driverless cars.
"Volocopter VC200" is the world's first passenger drone, but both still have endurance issue " flying times"
Ehang 184: 23min hovering... Volocopter VC200 38min hovering
Thank you, I´ll wait for Google car :D
hey i still though i was watching star war or Oblivion movie LOL it look insane same with sci-fi movie man great job E'hang well done good job keep it up for good work
brasil porrra!!
It's unsafe for personal transportation. If one of the motor shuts down, then it will crash. Classic helicopter has auto-hovering property and even the engine is shutdown, it can in some conditions land safely. Taking into consideration of the twin-turbine engines in normal helicopter, then it's much safer.
From energy efficiency point of view, small rotor at high speed is much less efficient than large rotor at low speed. So may a classic helicopter with an electric motor is such more efficient and safer than this one.
+yang ni Parachutes and low height parachutes. A lot of helicopter crashes don't make victims.
+yang ni Actually that is not true because this drone is an octocopter. It has four arms but on each arm there are two props and two motors. Octocopters can lose a motor but still fly just fine. SO the statement that if you lose one motor it will crash is not correct.
pilots will all be employless , lol !
Too baad there isnt footage of it actually carrying a person.
el chapo will use this to escape yet again..
!00 km per housr is too slow, what's the point of flying and not to feel the joy of having the control in the air. I want to control the plane.
Aeromobile is still better, faster and combines driving on road and liberty in the air.
AHAHAHAHAHAH THIS IS NOT REAL LOL
Hayden V nub its real
made in china - yeeeeah i will pass on this one
+Imperial Commander Yue Fei 岳飛 Don't forget the USA
he should have said designed in china. iphone is designed in USA, china just assembles.
DJI, which arguably is the best and most popular consumer drone company, is also Chinese.
Not all chineses stuff is shit.
What about lenovo and dji?
