World's first manned flight with an electric multicopter
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- The first manned flight with an electric vertical take-off and landing multicopter (eVTOL) was performed by Volocopter. The flight lasted 90 seconds, after which the pilot Thomas Senkel stated "The flight characteristics are good natured. Without any steering input it would just hover there on the spot." The flight, which is a Guiness World Record, was performed on October 21st in 2011.

I do real appreciate this people, they do a lots of research toward this future machine in years to come, for a new generation to come, my encourage keep it up a good work.
Anyone wondering about the motors used, I did a little research and found this quote about the motors "Thomas Senkel develops the necessary electrical motors and designs the first prototypes"
They are apparently custom built
It's working.... IT'S WORKING!
Your an odd sight to see here

I love how you still just control it with the TX and hope nobody else get online on the same channel even when you ride that thing.
atleast with this flying height we can avoid ground type pokemons attack :).hope it increase in future in sha allah

If you could make one just like giant parot drop it would be cool
Is that a yoga ball underneath the pilot? genius! You make us dream guys
video starts at 1:41
Thanks for the thoughts you have shared here.
Have you tried a deliberate shutdown of each motor sequentially while in flight, to test the effect on stability in each case? I would be interested to see it. I think it would help greatly with further developments and adaptations.
Sure it would be more stable of it wasn't human controlled but done by computer and sensors. It could amazing - respect to the lunatics who try it first.

It's both. Multi-rotor aircraft are stabilized by gyro-and-computer control systems. The pilot's control input tells the control system which direction he wants the aircraft to go, but the actual motor speeds are controlled by the computer to keep the aircraft stable.
Looks like a drone married a rainbow vacuum cleaner. But, congrats on being a modern day Wright Brother.
good! hugs from Brasil and congratulations! :)

i never knew those belly exercise balls had a purpose till now
Love your channel!!
"Honey, have you seen my exercise ball?"
I dont really think that qualifies as a "flight" considering that he didnt go anywhere. I think "first hover" was a more appropriate title.
Great! I like the word the world first.
How much weight can this multicopter lift?
you do realize there is a hover board version and hover bike version of this very thing?
good machine
that is a 100% secure aircraft!
Is that the 60's moon lander without it's shell?
Now do a flip
Now this is what im talking about !
It's held together by electrical tape.
Look forward to a trip above the trees.....good luck
what is our advantage from seeing this video?what i mean is you can't see as how to make it rather than what is making in the world.

That is really nice, how much for that big of a rig. If a octo-copter for cameras runs 1,200.00 easy I'd almost hate to know.
YOKA ball suspention. LOL
No good, cockpit needs to carry two pilots at least!
Isn't that the new German Aviation Regulation?
Very good, well done fellas. That is very impressive
lets make hamburger, i don't see any practicality for this.

Awesome, a portable human blender.
Very good
Great achievement. but the team needs someone able to choose better ending themes! that lousy music sounds like a sorry version of the wedding March. thumbs up to the multicopter nevertheless.
DAMN where can I get one? That's some good engineering there.
Nice bro
sounds like a deadly swarm of wasps D:
very nice
Cute idea, good fabrication, BUT it in the event of power loss or one motor failure, it's gonna hurt. Gonna need avery good ejection seat$$$$$
Just skip to 1:44 and stop watching by 2:37 if you make it that far.

MothaFxck Thanks buddy. Impressive, but also, lacking somehow. Good project though :)
+MothaFxck Thanks for the tip. This whole video is really only 30 seconds long surrounded by tons of TL;DR / who cares.

Very nice and certainly cutting edge in 2011!
The pilates ball is a great solution to the eventual spinal crushing of other sit-down manned drones.
Any weight above the blades is a bad idea.
You and your gear should be the counterweight, and should be mounted UNDER the copter.

And no doubt a dollar short as well.
no that's not true, I fly my syma x8g with a big ass Garmin VIRB camera on with a gopro mount...

A demo called "Why petroleum controls the energy markets". :)
This music would indicate this flight happened back in the 70's I guess.
Ryan Roga what would you prefer, today's shitty music? Then again "wrecking ball," would probably fit nicely in this video.
excellent air frame. it would probably be even more stable with fewer but more powerful motors/engine's
ruclips.net/video/GKBNTP6D1ag/видео.html these guys here achieved high stability with 32 motors.
I think they will be less efficient than fewer ones, but they are potentially safer if one or more motors fail.
I think that's better for manned flight - so far -, but cargo drones would be better off with only four or even two motors.
looks like something you'd build in gmod xD
Love it, I want one:-) Well done:-)
Ok

If one blade fails, how will it affect stability?
Wow that helmet is going to do loads to save you if a rotor breaks and imbeds itself into your chest
I agree the seat below the structure would lower the center of gravity making it easier to balance.

If the pilot was lower or the props higher it would be more stable.
+Kirk McLoren If you look at their follow up projects it is clear they know this already and this was one of several prototypes made to test the idea. Their VT200 has more rotors all placed above a traditional cabin with usual cockpit.
+Kirk McLoren Not necessarily, it's actually possible to have the main load mounted high with the rotor(s) underneath. This particular aircraft is artificially stabilized using gyroscopes and a central computer to control the speeds of the various motors and keep the machine level. The pilot's control inputs are mixed with the gyro signals to provide full flight control.
While this large machine has many more motors and propellers, small four-motor RC drones use a similar control system that uses gyro signals to control the motor speeds, keeping the aircraft flying level (or in any orientation desired) without constant pilot input. This type of aircraft would be unflyable without the stability augmentation system (gyroscopes and computer control).
i heard somewhere that it was actually the other way around, some rocket scientist on the internet actually explained that it is more stable to have rotor beneath the cargo/body
Minepebble Neither configuration is more or less stable. All of these aircraft are artificially stabilized through active stability control, using gyroscopes and computers to control the speeds of the lifting rotors, to force the aircraft to fly in a given attitude/orientation unless deliberate human control input is applied. It has nothing to do with the physical aerodynamic properties of the vehicle itself.
If the center of weight is in the middle it doesn't matter
Excellent work. I wonder
Why you did not keep yourself below the craft to keep the CG low. May be you could have small air pads below each leg (or just flexible legs) and replace the large air pad at the centre with yourself hung with a harness. You save the weight of the chair as well.
Where is the battery?
Wish you had a small commentary included in the video. This was in 2011, what stage has it reached now?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the cockpit beneath the propellers?
If you added longer struts to hold the craft higher off the ground, you could sit beneath the propellers without worry of a blade snapping off and potentially flying towards you.
Also, it would be easier to enter and exit the aircraft because you wouldn't have to climb on anything and your weight below the aircraft would help reduce the potential of a flip.
That's just my two cents but I do like what you guys have accomplished.
Exactly!!....I believe the center of gravity is reduced when placing the seat below the props?
i agree better and safer underneath it would be more stable and easier to steer and no fear of ending upside down , but this is a great flying machine
They chose not to since they're fully aware that the inventors of helicopters would sue them for copyright infringements.
Im joking by the way
wtfboy32
I wasn't sure if you were trolling or what. Lol.
what are the names of the motors
They need to add a metal cage around the propellers for safety purposes.
I dont think they need this any more. watch theyre velo copter video.
Why? Regular helicopters don't have such guards on them. Avatar was not a documentary.
Physics dictates weight to lift.
Martin Willett Helicopters don't have prop guards because one is unlikely to get caught in them while sitting inside, on the other hand this copter presents a more evident threat to your composition; indeed when taking into account the exposed position of the pilot.
Super!BlueCheese747
Whoa maybe next they'll put more seats in, then they can make it even bigger, then eventually they may only need to use one propellor...

Hi
How are you
I know
Can you help me
OMG! It's held together with zip ties, electrical tape & bungee cords, and it's sitting on a rubber ball! :)

Yea blades at crotch level. what could go wrong?
Cool, but it's not the first one.
Expecting to see meat chopping :(
I am not a big fan of the whole "Man ontop of the deadly spining blades" idea

I like the Stability Ball Shock Absorber System. LOL
I think that was actually a pretty ingenious engineering solution for the purposes of prototyping. Light weight, good shock absorbing characteristics, cheap, easy to obtain, sufficiently durable, etc. I'd call that good, original, out-of-the-box thinking even if the concept appears a little absurd in aesthetic terms.
violetxoxox to tell it all, it MAY be also the best final solution. If you can have a lightweight elastic thing absorb impact when landing, and thus save a lot in energy terms, why would you mount more resistant, heavy feets? For what purpose?
***** You wouldn't. This is clever. It's the bounciness I found funny. I was picturing the first time someone lands at an angle and goes hippity-hopping down a runway. ;)
violetxoxox for such a thing they will surely put automatic landing :D
***** One hopes.

And then?
+Mike Peabody what els :)
Awesome, I like that, it would be cool if it could be fold and carry easily with wheels, and it has long life battery.
It's infant technology right now, just wait long enough.
Batteries are about to undergo a graphene based revolution. Fortunately the proliferation of smartphones, electric cars and all the other ways you can make money from decent battery technology means there is serious amounts of money put in to research!
Is as easy as to build lithium ion crystal batteries, more resistant to heat, more powerful and better.
thank him v for this 1:44
def needs 4 cables extending down to a pilot chair about 30 feet underneath. the cables should attach to the 4 furthest points from the center on the quadcopter for stability so you're not swinging around at all.

It would be better to be seated underneath the propellers, as can be seen in the comments below, some people are afraid of cuts. It would also be more stable.
Hence the design of the VC200 !!
if any of those blades cut loose they'll likely kneecap the bastard.Or tear him a new one.
Is like flying between a bunch of enraged samurai chefs.
