Nice
looks like this will be as close as we can get to flying cars.
Awesome! You could mow down hundreds of people with that thing. One day the technology to cover rotors will arrive.
+Suge212 It already does exist, and mathematically adds around 20% more lift. The two issues, while small, are weight and overall necessity. Helicopters are "personal transports" and they lack a rotor duct. Just some incite.
Arguably, these vehicles will be so FAA regulated and require special 200 hour+ Quadrotor licenses that they will never make it as mainstream as this company puts forth. This is, after all, just a fancy helicopter that alters its direction with varying rotor torque with four rotors, instead of 1. This technically already exists for single rotors, but the varying torque is in a rear gyro type unit, but uses turbine exhaust gases. See : NOTAR systems on helicopters.
+eclipsethesun Thanks for the response. They defiantly need to cover rotors for mass production consumer models. I do see this becoming mainstream provided they design these vehicles to be mostly autonomous. They already have self driving cars and it is light years easier to have self flying vehicles than cars. This would give the average person the ability to use such a vehicle without having to spend 200 hrs of flight time to obtain a licence. Hop in, set destination and go.
If we ever do see personal aerial transport become a reality then I can guarantee such vehicles will be mostly autonomous.
Great point! I didn't even think of that! I agree that an autonomous vehicle that is linked with the flight path of hundreds/thousands of these units in a city or public area would be very efficient and safe. Safer with rotor ducts ;)
When is it going to be comercially available. what is the approx cost?
+singh sudan This year, and it'll cost between 200'000 and 300000 USD. (made some research..)
+IvanTheJerk take my money 😂😂
They have got to put protective shrouds on those props. Way to dangerous for normal people that might walk by.
No way will this ever go public. Its way to dangerous. Need to enclose the blades.
Nice, until someone looses a limb xD
Ferdinand wer can I get one
