- Electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, or eVTOLs, could be the solution to rush hour traffic. But jumping in one to get across town is still a long way off. Anderson Cooper tested out Lift Aircraft's Hexa to see what this future could look like. Read more here: cbsn.ws/3JU6Hxs
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

"I can really feel the wind up here" whilst hovering 5 metres above ground level🤣
Did I hear 15 minute battery life? So their focus will be battery resources for extended light.
All it needs is a rapidly deploying parachute in the event of a power loss.
I read that it can fly with 6 of the 18 independent engines, each with their own battery, disabled.
What good is a drone that can only fly 15 minutes on a showed called 60 Minutes? There’s 45 minutes left for “fillers”
This is a super idea but until the battery tech gets better, it's not very practical. Still for joyrides, it's great; for commutes, not so much.
Without being constrained by roads, traffic lights, or traffic - you fly straight line at up to 60+ mph for up to 15 min. That get's you up to 15 mi. - HEXA is designed for maximum efficiency and safety in hover for short hop trips, and not for cruise efficiency for longer range trips. 85% of trips by car are
@@liftaircraft 15 miles, if you're willing to fly right up until the moment you run out of power.
Also, 15 minutes doesn't give much wiggle room if something goes wrong and the landing needs to be delayed by a few minutes.
I'm on the wait list to fly, and I'll likely invest, but... being honest, OP is right about the battery tech needing to improve.
500k to fly 15 minutes. This tech has come a long way but has an even longer way to go.
Same thing I thought. No way for me to pay 500k for 15 mints fly.
$250 per 15 minute flight. The $500k is if you want to buy it.
If you put some lights under there, you can fool entire UFO communities (as they call them lol)
This is an excellent idea!😂
Well the thing is that You actually have an open system that has no windows within the craft. It looks dangerous!
Aircraft for daily commute will never happen, and there's a very simple reason for that: If your car malfunctions on your way to work or dropping kids at school, you simply pull over to the shoulder or secondary street and wait for AAA or whatever tow service you prefer. While on an aircraft, a malfunction probably means the end of you. It's really not that hard to visualize 🤷🏻♂️
Should have used the ejection seat for that passenger.
Somehow they "toned down" the noise in this video. Another video of a different guy flying one of these was downright "deafening." A few rides to work and you'd definitely lose your hearing unless those helmets they wear cut down the noise level a lot!
I think this is really cool!!!
For $250 you get to be a test subject. If enough test subjects live then we’ll market it to the public as a safe form of transportation. Just kidding😁
Nope, I actually think you're right with this to some degree.
Its how all things evolve, its the only way things can evolve in the field of inventions.
Can you imagine everyone flying this ? Would love to be on the ground watching that day
lol
They used to say the same things about cars. Your age is showing
Not practical in residential areas due to the noise.
2034
UBER air and Lyft Flights
Will be a thing
Lol, imagine half of all people commuting in these things, how crowded the skys would be during rush hout and how many acidents there would be, ha!
Ain't never gonna happen. Small helicopters been around for decades and aren't being used for ordinary daily commute so 15 minutes battery life heli isn't going to change it.
There is info out there that suggest no license required but I wonder because they say it is over 500lbs and ultra light Part 103 is still 254 lbs. I checked the regs thinking perhaps they increased the weight limit but they have not and it has been 254 lbs for 10 years or more.
Part 103 has additional weight allowances for floats and parachutes, etc. HEXA's weight allowance is 488 lbs - confirmed by a third party technical standards committee from the Light Aircraft Manufacturers Association. An inspection also performed by the FAA.
I figure all of the people buying electric vehicles now will be very angry three years from now when the range ends up increasing five fold.
The air traffic is a very delicate subject. You see the tons of rules that exist right now just for few airplanes. And also the consequences of an accident, malfunctions, human behavior, etc. can you imagine this implemented massively? It’s chaos. Unless you have some sort of automation for everyone or other mitigation mechanisms. We have to be realistic.
I think one of these crashed pretty bad a few weeks ago. AC would be done for if he was in it at that time.
Not sure what you are referring to, but it was not LIFT
drink holder? hello, REFRESHING BEVERAGE HOLDER ????
The battery only lasts 15 min?
15 min???
Not exactly a flying car but it's pretty cool.
It won't happen; no one wants to hear constant non-stop buzzing.
At 500K per drone. Only the elite could afford one. And currently there is a 15 min battery life / flight time to overcome. Great idea a joy ride for $250-300 to experience that type of tech.
So since no private ownership we have to drive a hour to get to it, so we can fly to our job?
15 mins would not even get me to the store and back.

15 minutes...🤦 until they invented lasting batteries...❌
Is there a safety system on board so if there was a failure due to the propellers, batteries, or even a malfunction in the detection system would there be a saafetty net to be able to prevent a fatal accident from occurring. Would be pretty terrifying hearing the silence of the propellers and complete spiraling down.
It's light enough to have an emergency parachute but it needs to fly high enough for a parachute to be effective. 15 mins battery life seems awfully low. I don't see this being used in dayily life anytime soon.
With 18 independent propellers, each with its own battery, it would make sense that if one or more propellor or battery failed, a program would limit the height of flight and direct the remaining units and the pilot (or a remotely-based ground controller) to begin descent to land.
Yes, there is a ballistic parachute that deploys autonomously if the aircraft loses control for any reason.
So... to avoid FAA regulations, you can't fly over PEOPLE.
So basically unless someone gets a FAA license, they CAN'T use it to commute to work. I mean, unless the only thing between their home and work is empty farmland..
It's probably something still getting worked out.
Just like going to the local RC field and have a pilot with a trainer cord let you fly his drone.
Hi Caramba, I got to give me one of those. I bet those things cost $100,000 apiece. The future looks bright rock ‘n’ roll.
500k 😂
Sounds like OceanGate company
It will fail based on the business model he's talking about. "Fly 10 miles in 10 minutes instead of taking an hour." Well guess what, by the time you go to one of their flight locations, pay, and go, it's an hour anyway!!
15 minute battery life? A loooong ways from there to useful.
Kimberly Avenue
So a Lift Lyft…
😅
It's $250 for 15 minutes.
Leffler Alley
Careful not to be like Boeing, someone left a tool in the cockpit.
15 minutes😮, nope, not for me!!!
Rubie Keys
What a huge waste of time and money lol
You do realize wealthy people need this type of transportation, In California where traffic is absurd. Wouldn’t make sense for a casual like yourself
I was waiting for the drone to go super high and fall and crash.
Thats not 45 miles per hour
It took 30 minutes for gay Anderson Cooper to figure out the joystick. Is he really gay?
This is NOT IT. DEFINITELY NOT SUSTAINABLE IN THE LONG RUN. I SUPPORT THIS COMPANY, But they need to change the Product.
lol 15 minutes? My Mavic 2 does 30.
Can I get a ride on your Mavic 2, please? 😉
Yes, max flight time generally goes down as max gross weight goes up. There is a limit to how much battery weight you can add if you want a useful payload and, in our case, we need to stay compliant with Ultralight Class (FAR Part 103).
👍😊
60mph? or 45mph? he say 10 miles in 10 minutes but i thought it go's max 45mph
Good question. Anderson Cooper mentions 45 mph and 90 feet high - that is just what we had tested up to at the time of this interview. HEXA's max altitude will be limited more by Class G airspace (generally up to 1200 feet AGL) and available flight time. Max speed achieved in simulation is 90mph, but regulations limit this calls of aircraft to 62mph.
When smart people invent stupid stuff.
👍👍👍👍👍
Lorna Neck
Too big ,too expansive, low range 10minute = 450 000$ lol , multibattererie too complex to start
President Biden or Kamelia Harris are you inside Thomas Dale Hopewell Junior or the landscaping man next-door
Evie Squares
:.( 15 mins I was getting my wallet ready and than it said 15 mins :.(
Lmao 15 minutes 🤡🥱🤣
future taxi
15 minutes 😂
Wow… 15 minutes autonomy… useless
Rad
😂😂... here look we'll fly you.. but you can't have it. Take that free America.. oh yeah wheres my $250 dollars for your 6 mile flight 🤑
Lol these people lost their minds? Pay what, half a mil to fly for 15 min. And when those batteries start to go bad what.. You crash? You lose flight time like crazy? You didn’t 25k to have batteries replaced to fly for 15 more min? Cool concept, terrible execution. Just ANOTHER reason why everything can’t be battery powered…the tech isn’t sustainable yet! But yeah, let’s go all battery by 2030😂😂😂😂..
You can spend 10k and get a legit mini helicopter and fly for hours using jet fuel…you could fly for over a decade and not come close to the insane cost of this electric 15 minute hoax.
It's $250 for 15 minutes.
