That should teach everyone when watching Communist propaganda. They don't have the technological know-how to create a battery-powered helicopter that has enough power to carry a human passenger. This is hard to do anywhere in the world, but it takes the Chinese Communists to create a fake news story to brag about a non-existent accomplishment.
I'd honestly pass on this one. Safety concern 1. Open blades. Safety concern 2. entry door too small. 3. the landing feet isnt practical if a landing spot isn't smooth. 4. Emergency parachute exit. Also some minute efficiency details DJI would laugh off when they want to try extreme tests on this. Guys nature is powerful, when wind speeds gets to 161 or more Kmph or even hit this half the way it does on helicopters, i sense trouble. Still a lotta work to do on this. First off those open blades!!!
dude it's China, they have no regulations... The way I look at it is that at least there are companies out there working on technology to carry humans in an affordable manner.
Your idea is so simple, you don't know anything about this complicated project,u just ur idea mind urself. Sometimes critics need some knowledge of engineering mechanics, fluid mechanics, industrial design, electromagnetics, etc
The real question is are any of these deficiencies insurmountable? When the automobile first came out, it had no headrest, no seat belts, no collapsible steering column, no shatter proof glass...now there are over a billion of them in active use. How difficult would it be to fix the the issues you've identified? I'm guessing not very.
Exactly what i was thinking when he was standing by it. Good way to get halved if they have no form of emergency stop. Im almost certain they dont break away since they'd have to be strong enough to lift the drone and its passenger into the air. I've seen table saws that will stop if you put a piece of bread in front of the blade so there's technology out there that could possibly be applied but still those blades look pretty intimidating.
They should put a ring around those props. You'll see a lot of drones doing that for safety purposes. If you walk into those props and you're going to be unhappy. But then again most aircrafts don't have much protection around the prop area anyway
Wow what an amazing little machine the E-hang 184 is, and I really think E- has a lot of potential, it will be really awesome if the range can be double or even triple and two a passenger version, I take my hat off to you guys and keep up the good work!!!
Que genios los diseñadores que llevaron a cabo este proyecto, un gran avance en Aero transportación. Que sigan los éxitos, abrazos virtuales desde la Patagonia!!!
Q: How far can it fly? A: Anywhere in the world. Q: but how far per charge? A: About 30km. ... Dude, 30km is the answer to the first question. Also, for it to be the first passenger drone, it has to actually fly with a passenger, not only just be able to fly with an empty "passenger" compartment.
all looked fake as f*ck. They were pretending to be at work. Some had like winter jackets on (inside) and most desktop were off or idling (login screen). the thing was loud as f*ck, they barely left the LZ ... and not one from the gov. was attenting the world first delivery drone ... where even a 1m60 short lady has trouble to enter, leave the vehicle.
The Fact that they openly admitted the Founder Died in a Flight accident is scary!!! Definitely a little sketchy that you cannot fly it from inside it has to be preconfigured or remotely managed. What if it lost remote connection? I wounder what is the delay in the remote display, is there enough notice to avoid an accident. My guess is since you basically cannot fly it is why you don't need a pilots license.
12:32 - On ground, 100% / 91.3V 14:19 - Takes off, 97% / 87.5V 15:00 - Begins to move, 93% / 87.0V So it lost 7% in a little over a minute. And that's without a human in there adding weight. So you can only really fly these things for 10 minutes or so empty? Nice toy!
That is seriously cool. And I want one. Take my money. Saying that I'd prefer to see Personal Aviation Craft using the Coanda effect rather than using multiple fan. Not just that I think using a generator instead of battery power would potentiate travelling distances. Nonetheless this is impressive. Well done, China. You're coming of age with respect to tech.
There is a small company here in America building something like this with a small 3 cyl diesel engine and a 10 gal tank to continuously charge the battery. wish I could remember where i saw it...Gizmodo or PopSci...I ALSO DON'T LIKE THE UNSAFE PLACEMENT OF THE PROPS. nO BLADE GUARDS! the whole quad arm/motor assembly needs to be put ON TOP of the passenger module.
Agreed. The passenger module needs to be significantly larger, too. chinese people aren't known for being, uh, larger-boned, and they had trouble getting in and out of it. As a proof-of-concept, it was/is cool. Now, they need to take it to the next level. The military applications alone are just mind-boggling...
No mention of weight capacity, No mention of Safety features. ie: Parachute etc.. With an 18 Miles range it's somewhat useless. Did I miss how long between charges ? Great concept but has a long way to go before offering any benefits to the General Public, Best of Luck in your endeavors just the same..
i love this so make a safety feature that the pilot has a parashoot and the top can pop off for emergency reasons like a fighter jet. spring seat and everything
When he said it would deliver presents to the children in the city. 1:10 He totally sounded so unsure. I felt like I was watching a round of Jeopardy: “what is delivering presents to the children in the city?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There really should be the basic redundancy of pilot effected control option, relying on internet and network in any life critical situation is madness. That would also require some level of training (intelligence) for the person seated inside, so counter to the ambition i guess.
Robert, A wifi connected tablet is hardly pilot control, but I guess if it can fly a toy drone, people will risk it. Guaranteed it will never get airworthiness certification in Australia at least.
Australia Regulations make it very hard for innovation. Multi rotor aircraft cannot be flown without micro-controllers the inputs required without one are too complex. Even manual flight is translated by the controller to movement. Manual flight is even hard with a flight controller but using a barometer flight becomes much much more easy (altitude hold mode), internet and gps is not needed in this mode.
yep! They say the battery is good for 20 minutes; as an electrician, I discount claims like that 50%. so, without passenger, 10 minutes, or 5 minutes out & 5 minutes back. Not gonna deliver a lot of presents like that
Come on people. Jealousy of what China is doing is unfortunate. They are quickly becoming the leaders of industry. The US is too concerned with devolving.

Nomadd UK ye fake just a mockup the flying drone is cgi or just a toy, looks more to me like a college filmography project and really not that good of one
No, it is not fake. It is the real deal. It can carry one passenger, but when it flies from point A to Point B, that route is pre-programmed into the Ehang 184. So the passenger does not actually fly it, the Ehang flies itself. But you are correct, it is a large drone. A large drone big enough to carry one passenger. And I do not doubt that they will stick strictly to the pre-programmed routes with the routes being paths that have been tested to make sure there are no hazards in the way like power lines. My dream has been to have something like this but a vehicle that anyone can fly anywhere they want and any time. But unfortunately I now realize that may never happen just because of things like power lines. But then again, I'm pretty sure any new cities being built bury their power lines and the like with nothing of that sort above ground. Power lines in some cities are incredibly unsightly and are inherently dangerous being out in the open. So we probably will get around to vehicles that can be flown anywhere at anytime. It just will not happen in my lifetime :-/
@vamsi miriyala The situation is funny in the video, but the drone is totally safe. I was talking only about the situation. They called the children to close to the drone to show the people that the drone is safe. But they chose children under 5 years old, just in case xD
awesome concept, however, i think it needs further development before it can be considered a viable and reliable means of transportation. one area of concern are the exposed propellers. by encasing them in lightweight ducts, not only do you decrease chance of injury, but you also get more efficient thrust which should increase its range. also this may have to wait for a major break through in battery technology before it has the range and lift capacity to make it a practical mode of transportation, but i say they are definitely off to a good start
Completely agree but I would have also put the props on the top VS on the ground and I wounder if they are duel motors per side. If one motor where to fail the other could give time to land the drone.
If they could build these and then sell them for reasonable price, say twenty five or thirty thousand dollars, I would definitely buy one or possibly two! Lol! I love it! Never thought I would see the jetsons come to fruition! 😁👏👏
BOUGHT ONE A WEEK AGO. BATTERIES WENT DEAD AFTER JUST 25 MINUTES FLIGHT TIME AND I CRASHED INTO MY NEIGHBORS BUSHES ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. TAKING IT BACK IN THE MORNING.
trick , i was looking at this and the first thing i thought was , what does it run on . its tinny so not much space and no internal engine for back up.... ill pass on this contraption ..
IT'S SO AMAZING THAT IN THE EARLY 50'S THEY HAD PROP UNITS BUT FOR SOME UN KNOWN REASON PERHAPS BECAUSE OF GAS ENGINES INSTEAD OF BATTERY TECHNOLOGY OF TODAY, THEY NEVER GOT MORE THAN A FEW FEET OFF THE GROUND
At 3:38, "there's no steering wheel" it's controlled by a tablet instead??? Great design, now one's life is at the mercy of a touchpad screen! Those never go bad do they????
Yes I agree. They should make drone ambulances, it would cut down the cost of carrying patient by air. Currently it's forbiddenly expensive to transfer patient by helicopters, and it would save a lot of lives if they could have done that.
Wow great job! Nice edit. Make me feel China closer, more real. You are top. Thanks to entire country for all the things you do for this world! Wish this project do a real work soon!
@I AM ALIVE !!!!! for you ,yes ,cause you can never see the high level stuff n you don't know shit about technology even if they invented it，all you can see is 99c slippers,lowlife idiot
@Rocky Alvarez that's exactly where your $1000 iphone came from and all the cheap stuff you bought from you fk country,by slave labour,they keep your fking life, moron
Rocky Alvarez. Your English is horrible, if you used Google translator (as I do) it would be better. Even the content of what you said is horrible and even revolting, just insults dictated by ignorance and bad faith (and blind belief in US massmedia.). But wait, just replace the word China (with capital letter) with the word USA and everything is explained. I am Italian, you, if I interpret the surname, are you of Latin American origin, correct? And you do not mess your stomach to see how USA treats the American sub-continent from Mexico to the southern tip? You supporters of the most dangerous country of world you are without soul but the more you are better is because thanks to you it is evident that country of low culture and without empathy that the USA is and accelerates its end!
Nicola Marziliano Oh your Italian? Now I understand your ignorance; makes perfect sense now. You can defend an evil regime.like China because you and yoyr people are just like them. Italy...birth place of the Roman Empire...one of the most violent and moralt bankrupt societies in worls history. Also home to the Roman Catholic church who has murdered more people than Adolf Hitler. Yeah you Italians would love China you have lots in common with them!
Nothing said of the air vehicle being provided with an inbuilt chute.... why no protection gear? Or, does it have inbuilt landing rockets in an emergency? ??
Davidson Vincent I agree with you 110 % ! Ehang has come a Long way with this Machine !!! I would give Anything for a chance to go up in one ! Some day there will be one in Every garage ! Wish I could live long enough to see that happen !
That's all that technology is ever going to be in the foreseeable future. Battery technology is going nowhere. We can technology ourselves to the moon, but if our battery capability can't power it, it's worthless technology. That's one of the biggest reasons Solar and Wind power is going nowhere. It's only good for very limited and immediate use, because it can't be stored efficiently. Our batteries are still 20th century technology, trying to make 21st century technology work.
@Billy Dingus china does make good products and they don't come cheap as we know it. But some countries want cheap products which looks like International brands from outside and china makes it happen.
No. Common sense should tell you not to stand next to a spinning propeller. Real helicopters do not have enclosed blades. Instead we keep people away from the blades. Landing zones will be made as these become commonplace, much like car parking bays. Adding more and more weight in an attempt to protect people from their own ignorance, is stupid. Thankfully politically correct "cotton wool bubble" culture has not spread to Asia yet.
Helicopters propellers are above the head ....but this drone's..is body height to adults and approximately head or face height to kids....safety first....mass productions should be far later down the line...

Build my own! Please write something else stupid! I enjoy dealing with idiots like you!!
@@truezyf building a drone is super easy. Motors, ESC's, PDB, Flight Controller, TX and solder that shit up and boom, a flying machine. A 10 year old could do it..
this vehicle is dangerous in just about every way possible. Prepare to crash and burn and/or have limbs hacked off often. A failure in any of the eight blades in the four paired counter rotating nacelles is a hand grenade a few feet way from the poor confined pilot/victim. Chance of a quick exit zero. No way does this get approved as is.
Obviously you've never rode a horse. If you ride a horse out 10 miles, turn it back towards home and drop the reins, I can assure you it will gallop back home without you doing anything but hang on. Same thing with a drone. If you tell it to go to an address and it maps out the nearest drone landing area, it'll go to it. You don't have to pilot it, it's a computer, like you don't have to tell a horse to jump over a fence or swim through water to get back home, it just knows.
+Floyd 81 ...even worse if you ain't gotta watch to know when 20 minutes is up... I suppose when it's time to go down, it's time to go down, ready or not... Turning it into a glider may make landing hurt less, and adding a parachute would make for an even softer landing, assuming it doesn't go roman candle on ya.
Now I wish I was 30 years younger. While the technology is being developed it is in its infancy. In 10 -15 years I can see those things flying over cities. Flying time and possible distance will increase and hopefully they will redesign the door. All the passenger will have to do is pay, get in and choose your destination hub. The drones will know to avoid each other and land according to remaining battery power. Can't wait to try this.
Crash, I cannot comprehend with comments from some harsh, impolite, prejudice, and usually uneducated people. We have a lot of them from the internet. The Indian government may be unorganized and incompetent but it is not the fault of the poor Indian people. Please have compassion and be able to distinguish where and how perceived threats came from. I cannot give you a % number, but I have to say over 75% of the Indians are not doing well economically and are being ignored by their government. These people certainly do not deserves to be trashed.
Adding an alternator or stater would draw more power than adding causing less flight time. Remember 20 min in the air can cover longer distances then 20 min on a road way. This is because of slower speeds on the roadways and flights don't need to avoid buildings depending on flight ceiling they are allowed to fly at. For example is the AirTaxi goes 120 mph for 20 minutes that is 40 miles. For a car going 60 mph to go 40 miles would take you 40 minutes without traffic or stops of any kind.

wow i can fly in there while im watching my winnie the pooh
Wow.... 184 amazing from Guangzou, Happy new tech flight.
Wow this aircraft sure looks amazing and I thought I never saw any aircrafts like that before.

At 15:50 you will see there is no passenger onboard. It is just a large drone... nothing to see here. Oh well :o(
It's fake
Nomadd UK ye fake just a mockup the flying drone is cgi or just a toy, looks more to me like a college filmography project and really not that good of one
nobody want to get onboard ..let alone the inventor himself .. 🤣
14.27 sounds like that guy already died in a crash.
No, it is not fake. It is the real deal. It can carry one passenger, but when it flies from point A to Point B, that route is pre-programmed into the Ehang 184. So the passenger does not actually fly it, the Ehang flies itself. But you are correct, it is a large drone. A large drone big enough to carry one passenger. And I do not doubt that they will stick strictly to the pre-programmed routes with the routes being paths that have been tested to make sure there are no hazards in the way like power lines. My dream has been to have something like this but a vehicle that anyone can fly anywhere they want and any time. But unfortunately I now realize that may never happen just because of things like power lines. But then again, I'm pretty sure any new cities being built bury their power lines and the like with nothing of that sort above ground. Power lines in some cities are incredibly unsightly and are inherently dangerous being out in the open. So we probably will get around to vehicles that can be flown anywhere at anytime. It just will not happen in my lifetime :-/
Perfect choice of shoes when you have to climb into that thing. Also why is she presenting it when his English is far superior.

12:43 The engineer, the best part hahaha then 18:00 many children next to blades of the drone LMAO
@vamsi miriyala The situation is funny in the video, but the drone is totally safe. I was talking only about the situation. They called the children to close to the drone to show the people that the drone is safe. But they chose children under 5 years old, just in case xD
awesome concept, however, i think it needs further development before it can be considered a viable and reliable means of transportation.
one area of concern are the exposed propellers. by encasing them in lightweight ducts, not only do you decrease chance of injury, but you also get more efficient thrust which should increase its range. also this may have to wait for a major break through in battery technology before it has the range and lift capacity to make it a practical mode of transportation, but i say they are definitely off to a good start
Completely agree but I would have also put the props on the top VS on the ground and I wounder if they are duel motors per side. If one motor where to fail the other could give time to land the drone.
my thought exactly as I looked and watched the video still very Amazing and exciting, great job..
I was waiting for it to start up whilst he stood alongside it... completely agree about ducting those props
warning, knee level dismemberment danger :/
If encasing them(props_)in lightweight ducts were easy. It would be done already. It's an obvi safety issue.
If they could build these and then sell them for reasonable price, say twenty five or thirty thousand dollars, I would definitely buy one or possibly two! Lol! I love it! Never thought I would see the jetsons come to fruition! 😁👏👏
BOUGHT ONE A WEEK AGO. BATTERIES WENT DEAD AFTER JUST 25 MINUTES FLIGHT TIME AND I CRASHED INTO MY NEIGHBORS BUSHES ON MY WAY BACK HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE. TAKING IT BACK IN THE MORNING.
Mmm.
well they actually said it could fly for around 20 minutes,apparently it's you that forgot to read the manual
That's so funny!
trick , i was looking at this and the first thing i thought was , what does it run on . its tinny so not much space and no internal engine for back up.... ill pass on this contraption ..
this comment is funny LMAO !!
That drone really need those ring thingys around the propellers. Many heads and legs will be severed xd
Texas dronesaw massacre .
Soon on Netflix 😁
Wow!
Elf on a shelf finally got a real Job.
Good for him, I was getting sick of him hanging around the house.
🤣🤣🤣
IT'S SO AMAZING THAT IN THE EARLY 50'S THEY HAD PROP UNITS BUT FOR SOME UN KNOWN REASON PERHAPS BECAUSE OF GAS ENGINES INSTEAD OF BATTERY TECHNOLOGY OF TODAY, THEY NEVER GOT MORE THAN A FEW FEET OFF THE GROUND
At 3:38, "there's no steering wheel" it's controlled by a tablet instead??? Great design, now one's life is at the mercy of a touchpad screen! Those never go bad do they????
This would be perfect for emergency services like ambulances etc
Yes I agree. They should make drone ambulances, it would cut down the cost of carrying patient by air. Currently it's forbiddenly expensive to transfer patient by helicopters, and it would save a lot of lives if they could have done that.
Wow great job! Nice edit. Make me feel China closer, more real. You are top. Thanks to entire country for all the things you do for this world!
Wish this project do a real work soon!

The blades look really sharp.
It needs a safety feature like parachute!! 😊🤗
I thought so too
When it reaches a certain fall speed a parachute comes out
Those kids speak Chinese AND English better than we speak English here at the same age... scary.
Where is here?? If you are American then that is not saying much... ! lol

This is 3 years ago. Imagine the development progress it has now
Woww, its so cute🤗, amazing!
Love Chinese inovation. Hopefully we can all have peace, and work together, so every man has prosperity.
@I AM ALIVE !!!!! for you ,yes ,cause you can never see the high level stuff n you don't know shit about technology even if they invented it，all you can see is 99c slippers,lowlife idiot
white rhino yes I guess you can afford inovation when using slave labour and violating their basic human rights
@Rocky Alvarez that's exactly where your $1000 iphone came from and all the cheap stuff you bought from you fk country,by slave labour,they keep your fking life, moron
Rocky Alvarez.
Your English is horrible, if you used Google translator (as I do) it would be better. Even the content of what you said is horrible and even revolting, just insults dictated by ignorance and bad faith (and blind belief in US massmedia.). But wait, just replace the word China (with capital letter) with the word USA and everything is explained. I am Italian, you, if I interpret the surname, are you of Latin American origin, correct? And you do not mess your stomach to see how USA treats the American sub-continent from Mexico to the southern tip? You supporters of the most dangerous country of world you are without soul but the more you are better is because thanks to you it is evident that country of low culture and without empathy that the USA is and accelerates its end!
Nicola Marziliano Oh your Italian? Now I understand your ignorance; makes perfect sense now. You can defend an evil regime.like China because you and yoyr people are just like them. Italy...birth place of the Roman Empire...one of the most violent and moralt bankrupt societies in worls history. Also home to the Roman Catholic church who has murdered more people than Adolf Hitler. Yeah you Italians would love China you have lots in common with them!
Congratulations, looks good! Keep us updated.
Nothing said of the air vehicle being provided with an inbuilt chute.... why no protection gear? Or, does it have inbuilt landing rockets in an emergency? ??
They named it wrong. Instead of Ehang-184 should be the Ehang-NONE-84.
This is a beautiful project. Kudos guys!
Davidson Vincent I agree with you 110 % ! Ehang has come a Long way with this Machine !!! I would give Anything for a chance to go up in one ! Some day there will be one in Every garage ! Wish I could live long enough to see that happen !

Until I see it with a pilot flying it, it's just a big drone with a very short battery life!
exactly what i was thinking about..
@@farshidheshmati4173 20 minutes !!!! hahaha !!! what if the battery gives up and you are 100 ft up in the air, but its ok you have a seat bely !! lol
by definition, with a "pilot" it is no longer a drone though, just an electric helicopter or quadcopter
Bloody hell 20 minutes
That's all that technology is ever going to be in the foreseeable future. Battery technology is going nowhere. We can technology ourselves to the moon, but if our battery capability can't power it, it's worthless technology.
That's one of the biggest reasons Solar and Wind power is going nowhere. It's only good for very limited and immediate use, because it can't be stored efficiently. Our batteries are still 20th century technology, trying to make 21st century technology work.
It can go anywhere globally, as long as its within a 20 min round trip. :/
and the pilot doesn't weigh too much
@Billy Dingus - It looks pretty high quality (until it breaks :)
That's great. Right now looking for countries within 20 minutes range
@Billy Dingus china does make good products and they don't come cheap as we know it. But some countries want cheap products which looks like International brands from outside and china makes it happen.
It won't last long it's made in China
Flight is becoming easier for humanity. Be sure to see lots of flying devices in the near future. Including these cute delivery drones...
Dont stand too closed to the propellers.....they should enclosed it....If someone accidently touch the laptop...
Those kids will be cut in pieces....
Wouldn't be too bad, ...I was circumsized at 13, THAT was painful!
No.
Common sense should tell you not to stand next to a spinning propeller.
Real helicopters do not have enclosed blades. Instead we keep people away from the blades.
Landing zones will be made as these become commonplace, much like car parking bays.
Adding more and more weight in an attempt to protect people from their own ignorance, is stupid.
Thankfully politically correct "cotton wool bubble" culture has not spread to Asia yet.
Helicopters propellers are above the head ....but this drone's..is body height to adults and approximately head or face height to kids....safety first....mass productions should be far later down the line...
@@forestdenizen6497 You have been proven senseless with the same copy paste comment dude... drop it already ! SAFETY of the Humans is not your concern... Are you a paid employee of this drone manufacturers? Shoooo
How about wind interference ? How high it can go ?
Did they say the designer of this toy died in a test flight?
I'm out!!
look, many pioneers of aero industry died in air.
Gear5 ZYF WROTE: "look, many pioneers of aero industry died in air."
PIONEERS?!
They are using established technology. (Drone Model Designs)
They are using established flight principles.
They are using established building materials.
They are using established computer systems.
They are using established Reversed Engineering, which is industrial language for ripping off someone else's work, and presenting it as your own!!
Other then inventing hilariously stupid ways to die they are not PIONEERING anything!!
so, go make ur own drone, don't buy china's copycat.
u can do it, right?
Gear5 ZYF WROTE: "so, go make ur own drone, don't buy china's copycat.

Well, it looks like your first Bullshit PIONEERING crack didn't
come back with any facts to support your Horseshit way of thinking!!
LMAO!!
But I did love your ignorant crybaby response though!!
Build my own!
Please write something else stupid!
I enjoy dealing with idiots like you!!
@@truezyf building a drone is super easy. Motors, ESC's, PDB, Flight Controller, TX and solder that shit up and boom, a flying machine. A 10 year old could do it..
Safe to watch in may 2021. Nice project.
Sure people will be so happy they'll lose their heads over it ;D
Made my day. LOL.
this vehicle is dangerous in just about every way possible. Prepare to crash and burn and/or have limbs hacked off often. A failure in any of the eight blades in the four paired counter rotating nacelles is a hand grenade a few feet way from the poor confined pilot/victim. Chance of a quick exit zero. No way does this get approved as is.
Baggeriku
Just thinking about auto-rotation myself
Who cares about auto-rotation and junk when you can take selfies while flying
Good
This isn't a passenger drone until it carries passengers.... Just sayin'.
thedraphter yup, and if it has a person piloting it you couldn't call it a drone, right?
thedraphter so is 1 passenger carrier should you call it passenger carrier
The horse is never supposed to be in control, have you ever rode a horse? Without falling off?
Obviously you've never rode a horse. If you ride a horse out 10 miles, turn it back towards home and drop the reins, I can assure you it will gallop back home without you doing anything but hang on. Same thing with a drone. If you tell it to go to an address and it maps out the nearest drone landing area, it'll go to it. You don't have to pilot it, it's a computer, like you don't have to tell a horse to jump over a fence or swim through water to get back home, it just knows.
the pilot is the passenger..
Congrats China

20 minute battery life. I would not want to fly in that drone
+Floyd 81 ...even worse if you ain't gotta watch to know when 20 minutes is up... I suppose when it's time to go down, it's time to go down, ready or not... Turning it into a glider may make landing hurt less, and adding a parachute would make for an even softer landing, assuming it doesn't go roman candle on ya.
China is complete fraud. This drone will kill people.
this is why planes use fossil
if its 20 mins its ALOT for that thing....i dont even wanna know how much batteries weigh...
@@ahah1785 lose weight, put on another battery lol
A bird hits this at full speed and your all dead.
Now I wish I was 30 years younger. While the technology is being developed it is in its infancy. In 10 -15 years I can see those things flying over cities. Flying time and possible distance will increase and hopefully they will redesign the door. All the passenger will have to do is pay, get in and choose your destination hub. The drones will know to avoid each other and land according to remaining battery power. Can't wait to try this.
The whole world is waiting for the first Indian passenger drone showing up anytime soon.
you are ai bot
Crash,
I cannot comprehend with comments from some harsh, impolite, prejudice, and usually uneducated people. We have a lot of them from the internet. The Indian government may be unorganized and incompetent but it is not the fault of the poor Indian people. Please have compassion and be able to distinguish where and how perceived threats came from. I cannot give you a % number, but I have to say over 75% of the Indians are not doing well economically and are being ignored by their government. These people certainly do not deserves to be trashed.
Ben, that sounds like America under Trump...
Feed your poor first.
Ben TheKeeshond I like what you said. I am a Chinese. I am sorry for what other Chinese say about Indians. May we all live peacefully.
Love China and you guys, well done.

Seems to me they need to work on an Alternator that charges the battery in flight because 20 min flying time isn't shit.
Adding an alternator or stater would draw more power than adding causing less flight time. Remember 20 min in the air can cover longer distances then 20 min on a road way. This is because of slower speeds on the roadways and flights don't need to avoid buildings depending on flight ceiling they are allowed to fly at. For example is the AirTaxi goes 120 mph for 20 minutes that is 40 miles. For a car going 60 mph to go 40 miles would take you 40 minutes without traffic or stops of any kind.
anyone else notice that not once was a passenger flying in it?
