One suggestion for black fly. @02:15 they show the emergency chute rod. Not sure if this is a push or pull, but I'd recommend this be connected to the chute charge via metal push/pull rod and rod ends. Make it from titanium if you're worried about weight. If you ever have to use it, you don't want to wonder if the carbon fiber resin or the connecting resins/epoxies have degraded from time/UV exposure. That one connection is the one to have a positive, safety-wired metal rod on.
My commute to work is 8 miles with slow traffic and lots of stop lights. My house and my workplace, as the crow flies, is about 2-3 miles overwater. This would be superb for my commute. I weigh 160 pounds. How much weight in gear could I bring along?
While nobody would probably enforce it and the relevant law (14 CFR Part 103) is overall the most permissive in the world, that would technically be illegal. Ultralight operation is permitted only for the purposes of "sport and recreation"; you are not allowed to conduct a flight in an ultralight for any useful purpose, which transport from one place to another would fall under. The whole motivation behind Part 103 is that the FAA had its hands full enough with real airplanes and didn't want to take on inspecting and regulating these toys which popped up five minutes after the hang glider started getting decent. So get on the honor system, stay away from where the real planes are flying, and don't make us step in and drop the hammer please. Over the decades they have issued a couple "Advisory Circulars" clarifying policy, in one of which the useful task of inspecting irrigation pipelines and ranch fencelines was again explicitly forbidden - a job ultralights are regularly used for in Australia, along with mustering livestock. A rare case where our - again, overall less onerous - law restricts something permitted in a Commonwealth country.

@@JustSayN2O Well the whole point is that it's a VTOL octocopter until you choose to tip over onto the wings, so if it can hover upward to a couple hundred feet it can go to a thousand, albeit at the cost of a chunk of juice. If this is supposed to be compliant with part 103, it supposedly has a power-off stall speed of 24 knots or less. I've expressed my skepticism of that elsewhere here; I'm betting they're finagling it as one-motor-out hover. Or maybe they've actually talked with the FAA and been told that the ballistic parachute satisfies the FAA's limited interest in the pilot's safety that motivates the stall speed requirement. I hope the latter.

Black Fly is the best and safest VTOL Ten years of testing and millions of miles flown. Its even an ultralight so no license required. You can even land on the water ‼️ I bet in the history of the design not one incident where the ballistic parachute was needed. 😉😎⚓
Seems like an ingenious design. It's capable of vertical takeoff, but rotates to achieve efficient horizontal flight. Aircraft have been doing this for decades, but are incredibly complex. This is simple.
Well is it Black Fly or Helix? Is it Opener or Pivotal? In fact, what company does make this thing and who decided to change the company and product names?
Toroidal propellers aren't more efficient, they just have a different frequency of sound. They were probably weigh a little bit more than regular props as well.

Isn’t active comms an FCC reg? What about flying a drone in vicinity of an active human flown aircraft? What’s with the cardboard in the cockpit? Looks cool and stupid. Thanks for the video!
That whole opening I kept repeating "There's no way Ken is flying, no way, na uh, not a chance.......well.....maybe.....possibly........NAA can't be....." Then the real shot...."Oh thank goodness!"
I love it and I want one but as far as radio goes how about just wearing a motorcycle communication headset I'm sure you could adapt one to wear in the cock pit.
hey ken , is there a chance the FAA wouldn't like the idea of a drone near a aircraft in flight? is there rules? etc, im asking as uninformed person with very little knowledge in this field
If you as a drone pilot coordinate with the aircraft you're filming, that is the safest way to get it done. This was filmed in class G aerospace at a non-towered airport. FAA has no problem with this.
That's a pretty high-dollar display hood that he's got there in the cockpit to block the Sun. Ken I'm sure you've got an extra hood laying around with all the drones you have?
"Does your drone flying look like this...?" 👍 I can't wait to see the Ford Musting Driving School advert. Gonna have to stand much farther back, though!

Not remotely close.... As soon as he said 2 joysticks for redundancy that right there tells you the entire attitude towards safety is different. The rest of the video just reinforced that take.
@@jjjjrrr678that and the training required which he called “intense” along with only 6 motors needed for sage landing AND a ballistic parachute “oh $hit” system. I’ve wondered why some need hasn’t taken a DJI drone apart and home built an ultralight quad yet. There are several 6 and 8 motor rigs that, with some transistor and Rectifier magic, could control enough juice to carry a guy up. Imagine getting in and your “stick” is a DJI motion controller (tethered for safety) and there’s a “pause” button as well as “return to home”.
Regarding the lack of radio, I think the weight limit he mentioned is for the aircraft itself. Why couldn’t he simply carry a radio on his person for local communication?
He does not keep this at an airport. This is just another location where he does a flying demonstration for those in the aviation industry. He is a good ambassador for the company in this way.
This aircraft is on the top on my commuter vehicle list and probably one of the few that is easier to fly than than any airborne craft. Drone tech for auto-stability. The only thing I don't like is it is not George Jetson's flying car shaped.
Flight time about 20 minutes, range, speed is legally limited to 55 knots = 63 mph, so 21 miles. But while probably nobody would enforce it, it's technically illegal to use this for anything but "sport and recreation", i.e. to take off with the intention of being transported to a different place. If you tried to fly into a city or town somebody probably would enforce the prohibition on operating it over a "built-up area" or "concentration of the public".
Great demo. motor overheating, that's not great. Meaning motor are too small. Bigger motor = more then 1lbs limit = not going to happen. Such a thin line to balance.
Why not pair this with a small motor to recharge the batteries and some solar recharging on the wings. Use the aptera solar panel sheets. Make a hybrid instead of all electric
Theres some bad properties about this. it cost 190,000$. Its an ultralite with limited range and speed. I would like to see an experimental category with unlimited range and speed but you need a pilots license. If you got this far a pilots license is a good thing. Use gasoline in 2 inboard motors/engines. Add a second seat. Put a wheel under it for landing like a plane sometimes. Now you got something thats useful.
This is the only thing that flys that i will get in and let someone else do the flying. I TRUST THIS MACHINE. If it's not "Black Fly", then i have to build it and fly it ori am not getting in it
I hadn't thought about it but it's obvious in retrospect that they'd be trying to stay within Part 103 parameters to keep their target market of bored billionaires from having to get licensed. But you're trying to tell me that that stubby biplane with eight non-feathering props on both leading edges, which is "one pound under the weight limit", has a *power off* stall speed of 24 knots or lower?
I can't have this at all. I would never drive to work or clients' homes ever again! Besides one, the majority of my clients don't stay near an airport. I would fly this thing every day!
Without that shute it would be a death trap 😅 definitely would want to hurry and get up to where chute would deploy fast enough. Below 200 ur taking big risk. I'd probably hurry up to about 800 feet and stay above 800
awesome thing. feels like 60-70s retrofuturism come true 👍 kind of you can fly it to some social parks and spa, and park it near youre house at lawn 😅🤗
Kind of crazy when the FAA rules about weight actually cause people to make decisions about leaving out something like a radio that could increase safety and in some cases be critical to avoiding an incident. Need a way to make the rules be "spirit of the law" and not the letter. I'd rewrite the law to say a craft must be X weight to start, but you could add things like GPS, Radio, fire extinguishers, parachute, first aid kit etc. without penalty.
For those who have been paying close attention to the East Coast "Drone sightings" and the videos I can be certain of one thing and that is but this prototype appears in one of them...
