Unfortunately, i am not able to keep creating new videos in my current situation. Visit: evtolinnovation.notion.site/eVTOL-innovation-RUclips-Channel-054d7bae8e344a0b8851f4be18600498?pvs=4 Email me: request.0207@gmail.com I'll be evaluating offers and ideas. Thanks.
While it has been very frustrating waiting for this to hit the market, which is not helped by the lack of news, i believe this will happen. We saw how Tesla faced challenges bringing a car to market. I can only imagine it's much more difficult bringing an aircraft to market. I know that Opener has fallen short of previous predictions of when this vehicle will be available, but I trust they are diligently working toward that end. I also respect their level of secrecy, even though it is frustrating as a "follower" to have so few and infrequent updates. I have subscribed to their mailing list but haven't received even one email from them, which is actually a bit disrespectful of them. But I continue to wait with hopes that this will become a reality. Please share any updated news on this vehicle if you have any insights.
it flew at Oshkosh a couple days ago. Looked great. They have hundreds of parts in manufacture now with the fusalage taking a long time to build like a week. They hope to open for orders in a month. Yes you can watch it ruclips.net/video/0lm9HdMGBss/видео.html Too bad the weight limit is 200 lbs.
Any would-be aircraft without the ability to glide (9 to 1 or so glide ratio) when not under power is unsafe. Even helicopters can be safely landed in the event of engine failure. This thing does not seem to have a much in the way of a wing and would likely drop like a stone.
Redundancy of motors and batteries mean that short of a midair collision this is far safer than most small aircraft. It could also have a ballistic parachute as well.
@@johng9562 it has a parachute designed specifically for that purpose but hey you’re welcome to keep pretending as of you know better. Good luck with that. Let us know when you design an aircraft.
BlackFly isn't a flying car, it is a VTOL electric ultralight airplane, it is a breakthrough on many levels . Molt Taylor told me the he realized after building a flying car that it was an impractical idea, the vehicle would be very expensive to maintain, insurance companies would not cover a airplane subject to fender benders and parking lot dings.
The first flying car people could buy was Molt Taylor's "Aerocar," which was for sale back in the 50s. It was a REAL flying car that could be driven down the highway. The used one in the opening scene of the old "Bob Cumming Show."
@@eVTOLinnovation I was lucky enough to have watched them fly around the when I was a kid. I grew up a few miles from the airport where he built them. :-)
"ActuAlly, Gustav Whitehead, the German who invented the first aircraft used his plane as a car as well." I'm pretty sure he never sold a single flying car. :-)
I LOVE this aircraft Srsly can't wait for it to come out, but if he says uhh one more time I'm going to punt a baby seal into oblivion. Uh uuh uhh UHH UGH UH
This market segment (GA, hobby aviation, last mile exploration...) is hugely underrated or did not even exist so far...I wanted a UL helicopter but the most stable version -coaxial type- is not manufactured at a reasonable cost by anybody...furthermore the training and pilot skill upkeep is mostly not possible for many people...
@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 Let's see how the first 25 units of Black Fly coming up at the end of year perform. I agree, I think it is underrated and it could be a big market
They said they were gonna start selling it in late 2019 . And said nothing at all ever since . There has been no update, no nothing. I am honestly convinced this is just nothing but a myth . Very sad because I was so excited for this . Very disappointing
Bulky and awkward. Likely to cost 10× as much as an ultralight helicopter or autogyro, without the advantages of range, speed, or height, refueling, or even auto rotation. Doesn't look like it can easily be transported either. This just a dumb gimmick of an aircraft. It's not a car as it doesn't have wheels nor can it drive around on land. This thing only exists as a toy for rich people to show off their wealth. There's nothing even truly innovative about the overall design either.

Lilium is going for a 7 seater eVTOL! 😳 My take 👉ruclips.net/video/fmiVd-CiNmw/видео.html

I will. There was a short demo at EAA. It’s in Openers YT channel. Thank you

RUclips Search: "Molt Taylor's Aerocar"....😲
Great achievement and in 1949!!
I didn't know, thanks for sharing!
ActuAlly, Gustav Whitehead, the German who invented the first aircraft used his plane as a car as well.

@@phillipzx3754 Nope, but that does not change the fact he flew before the Wrights AND in a car

Great job sir
The 5th Element scene made me laugh, lol
😁
Now I know why all the Buzz about the UFO sightings 😁
Now they just need quantumn scapes batteries
Awesome
Who wants a Black Fly?? ✋✋✋

Lighter and simpler is better. Lower cost of operation and ownership. Wings provide lift during forward flight saving energy.
@@pctrashtalk2069 Exactly...
@@pctrashtalk2069 👌
No mention of conditioned cabin. That thing could become an air fryer in the hot summer etc. What happened to this company? no updated info.
They just flew at Oshkosh so I think they are probably fine.
Imagine owning a farm and having one of these
"BLACKFLY WILL TRULY TAKE-OFF, NO PUN INTENDED".
Best design of the new VTOLs but 62 mph max speed is not too good
This is limited by the FAA Part 103 restrictions on ultralight aircraft. I guarantee you the Blackfly will go much faster if allowed.
I want one but I can’t find where to buy one anyone no where to buy one?
and who the fuck is mat ridley ?
Here is the interview and flight from 2021 Oshkosh a couple days a go...ruclips.net/video/0lm9HdMGBss/видео.html
It's a personal flying vehicle but it cannot be a car without wheels, which in this case, is better.
Yikes
They said they were gonna start selling it in late 2019 .
And said nothing at all ever since .
There has been no update, no nothing.
I am honestly convinced this is just nothing but a myth .
Very sad because I was so excited for this .

They just flew at EAA. It is a good sign!!
people can barely drive a car, so letting them flying is maybe not the best idea
