Hello, what did you use motors and regulators? What size propellers? Which used flight controller? What is the capacity of the battery and how many cans?
Although I applaud the efforts here, I can tell you all with some conviction that the FAA will not allow these multiple spinning propeller systems unless they are shrouded… so your current weight vs power considerations are off by a good deal, as well as your propeller thrust/size calcs. I’m not going to discuss stopping… and those of you who are familiar with this technology know why.
I guess all these models operate on battery power at present, right? Which one is most ready to be equipped & powered by a solar energy storage unit? And during the flight, could it be automatically recharging if the sun is overhead? Thank you very much for sharing the info !!!
Not that much time to get the parachute out unless you get higher, At 40 to 500 ft you would be screwed it it broke down. How can you make it safe from low altitude falls?
well the velocopter has a back up battery in-case of the extremely unlikely event of total battery fail also has a back up brain and two parachutes and can continue to fly with up to ten rotors knocked out breaking down isn't something I will be worrying about worst case scenario will be collision which will also be unlikely if all these machines talk to each other the only barrier there will all the companies agreeing on a standard for device communication.
Yes BUT what about a petrol or diesel generator for more long lasting on board power ? I sill haven't seen anything like what I was given about 5 years ago. A crashed drone that had fuel lines on it and smelt like model aircraft fuel as well as the remnants of a tank.. All aluminium and Kevlar components. A video system on it that transmits for 3 kilometres LOS and a bunch of receivers for the camera setup. Still got the transmitter here but need a 5.8 Ghz receiver with the correct channels.
Amazing things, the electric motors allow a wider distribution of the thrust, without too much extra weight, like the multi petrol engines and thrust vectors. Can't say I am going to ;like the noise though.
It seems the eHan is more advanced automous flying machine among the five. You set the destination on the map and the computer takes over and takes you there. very ingenious.
For these to become truly world-changing we're gonna need better batteries than we have currently (no pun intended). Lighter & with a greater charge capacity. It'll come though.
I suppose huge drones would need lots of energy storage to withstand long and heavy flights(ie currying luggage from one city to another:)) . It would be cool though if the future drones would be automatic or have some short of AI. We did it in cars so why not in drones?
Trusting high-speed vehicles to AI is a mistake. Even if software engineers can make them 'safer" under normal use, all it takes is one hacker to send millions of vehicles crashing into each other, hospitals, airports, military bases, etc. No system is hack-proof. Many car manufacturers are talking about making cars without any driver controls at all. That means when something goes wrong (which it will), there is no way for you to take control of the vehicle. AI as a tool is one thing, but as the only controller is a terrible idea...
As batteries are designed to provide much more power, they will replace the weight of fuel in the wings of passenger aircraft and continuously c recharge in flight. Battery power is power for the future as battery cars are desired to progressively take over from the petrol/diesel engine and become cost effective for the average family vehicle.
that doesn't look very promising when you compare petrol's 12,000 Wh/K specific energy to lithium polymer's 265 Wh/k. And super caps are even worse, their in the double digits
"they will replace the weight of fuel in the wings of passenger aircraft and continuously c recharge in flight." Are you suggesting the batteries will be continuously recharged in flight? If so, how? I know there have been solar powered unmanned airplanes which could stay airborne for multiple days because the batteries were recharged using solar power but I doubt this will be a viable option for passenger aircraft anytime soon.
Only problem I can see is the battery, we really don't have batteries with enough capacity to power drones of this size for longer than 15 to around an hour. The technology is there, but not a good enough powersource

Some of the older avation requirements were some thing like this . pilot's license not required if it's classified as an ultra lite does not fly above 10,000 ft. not capable of 250 knots in complete nose dive ! hmmm test pilots needed ?
The first cars could only travel a few kilometers and many people at that time though the same.... look now. Be patient, modern cars wouldn`t have existed without their grandfathers.
That's for sure but i thing the technology that we have today, it can do a larger battery even of the begining. Anyway i dont have that money to buy that LOL.
They need to make them larger, lighter, filled with helium. Then the loag os less increasing range and improving safety. A good goal would be 80% weight reduction with helium.
They should name this class the "Deathwish Drones" People (and the aircraft) in fixed wing aircraft can survive most technical problems with result in an "unplanned landing". With a quad, once you're a short distance above the ground your chances of surviving a crash landing would be very poor. You'd at the very least have to hold a gun on me to get me to fly in a quadcopter, and it it was an automated one I'd have be be sure you were a very good aim before even that could get me in. Flying with airlines is as safe as it is only because each carries so many passengers - which has led to a truly extraordinary culture and technology of safety. Single passenger is inherently far more unsafe - much higher cost of maintenance per passenger mile (so far more pressure to cut costs in the wrong ways, no human pilot on board if the technology fails etc. If it's 10 miles or less, I'd rather walk (even taking a heavy load) than fly a single passenger drone. More and I'd find some alternative transportation.
+Meister I think these will be expensive at first, but because the demand will be so big, that it will explode the production of such flying drones, and in a few years the competition will drive the price down, just as it does with cars.
Don't ruin your bodies, kids, look what's coming your way, in your lifetimes!
+tristram gordon ...
Nooooooo! Thrilling! Exciting! Living!!!!!
I rather die in this than with drugs no prob.
Me too, doing around 150+ along a beach, fantastic!!
They will be either too fat or to scared for anything like this.
You forgot to mention Colin Furze's Hoverbike!
WELL Done Dude !
Over 3 years later. This needs a second video.
Yeah, thanks for the update, this is revolutionary!!
This, more Drone Racing,would be awesome!

One day! Can't wait to see what the future holds. ;) Cheers!
very interesting and great channel
Real cool video. Future is here already. I'd like to test one of these drone)
Very interesting. Thank you.
Question? Can the Volocopter still autorotate in emergency like conventional copters can?
loved this video :)
1989: In the future we will make a rideable flying things
2016: *Rideable flying things*
1910 aeroplane ,1at centuary AD emperor Wang Wang made a gliding suit we've had rideable flying things for centuarys
Also when I was 6 my (1988) my dad made a kite so big it flew me in the air attached to the underside of it

Time for a 2021 video on this subject ;)
incredible engineering. THANK YOU for reporting on this...perhaps a few more links ?
I love it when they say it can't be done!
napoleon saud that?wow!

Good 1 Master bruce
Cool! Maybe do an update on if any of these has come to market yet or if they are still all prototypes.
Aero x can be bought from their website idk about the others
Thanks for the info !!

M eencantó, muy buen reportaje, saludos desde México
A rotor lifted aircraft doesnt need a chute, auto-rotation does the trick...
Can you imagine the noise associated with these things.
He we are 2019. Where's my personal of the shelf flying machine then?
thank you, very interesting
so +Curious Droid how was it working with christopher nolan on so many films?.. because your michael cain..
awesome but that last one i don't get. all them blades. What makes that better than just a normal helicopter?
i probably should turn the audio on XP
How i wish stuff like this can be sold in South Africa, Thabazimbi... :D , well besides costs, it would make my trips so much more fun
Sweet VTOL air vehicles that fly now. Will you buy one?
a go-cart with parasails on on it that fly's in the clouds is revolutionary .. and probally still more fun..
Nice to see.

4:17 "Can lift: 140kg - Can carry: 2 passengers"
Better learn to love salad if you want your flying car!
I weigh 150kg... Guess I'm doing to need the 3 man version.
About time, we were promised flying cars years ago
Now That's What I'm Talking 'bout !

How will they decide the airlanes? Wouldn't people crash into each other?
Some have pointed out "Not a drone". It is explained each piloted vehicle has drone capability with pilot option. Listen to learn.
Jon Brennon , Hi ! Your suggestion is Praiseworthy. Dear Friend , I'm from "India".
This will be perfect for the moon

all of these makes me excited about the future, but is there a way that we can make the propellers safer?
Make sure humans cannot operate them.
e.g. motor vehicles on roads.
I think I can rest my case :)
Ducted fans would provide more safety and power, but at the cost of weight.

how do you llike your salami ? sliced or chopped?
I don't like salami (And yes I see the point of your question
Yea, but do you get a tiny Phillip's screwdriver when you order one?
no, you get a metric allen wrench the same size you get every time you buy a ceiling fan..
Drone Driving License? . . . or are they too unstable to trust a person to drive?
This looks extremely dangerous with the exposed propellers. I can see people getting badly inured standing close to that thing
Some of the older avation requirements were some thing like this . pilot's license not required if it's classified as an ultra lite does not fly above 10,000 ft. not capable of 250 knots in complete nose dive ! hmmm test pilots needed ?
.... something told me that drone tech would ultimately lead to flying cars.... Back To The Future, here we come ! ! !
who told you? i bet it was that big mouth master poe,or his brother edgar.
maybe Mr Spock.he has a big mouth can't keep a secret!
or that drunk Scotty.
In this video the show a red model that looks like a hover shoe you put on your feet. Using your ankle's to control the direction your going
Good Morning
And you thought you had problems finding a parking spot? Wait until you have to go downtown with any of those.
5:30 that looks great but the probs are too big
There is a big difference between drones and hovercraft!
1 step closer to those flying cars😂
we used to called them helicopters back in my days ;)
UAS=Unmanned aerial system. These are manned aircraft. Drone = autonomous vehicle, manned or unmanned.
where can you go in 23 minutes. i better take a taxi instead of flying risk :D
The first cars could only travel a few kilometers and many people at that time though the same.... look now. Be patient, modern cars wouldn`t have existed without their grandfathers.
That's for sure but i thing the technology that we have today, it can do a larger battery even of the begining. Anyway i dont have that money to buy that LOL.
That's for sure too; and neither me can afford it. LOL too!!
:D fu*k it then im going LOL
ValeValeee! Where can you go in 23 minutes? The same place it takes an hour and a half by car during the morning commute,...work!
most of those are using ground effect, more like hovercraft than multirotors
That Air Jeep is fucking hardcore.
I hate it when there is a 1.43 advertisement that you cant skip
this is the way forward. Flying cars is not going to be mainstream.
of course not.why would you need tires, when you can fly.
THIS is like some star wars crude
