@@teofilol2666 You're hearing things. I'm not angry at all. I just think remotely piloted air taxis are a bad idea. Whenever you hear about an airplane pilot saving his 300 passengers, you have to remember that the pilot's butt was also on the line. A remote pilot is only risking his job. But what about self-flying air taxis? Well, same thing - the autopilot's designer's butt is comfortably back in his office, saying, "oh well, it's still safer than a bicycle," or "I can always go back to making web sites." Again, not angry. If this can be commercialized, and people will pay their money and step into these, then more power to them. But you have to ask yourself, why has it been years since they demonstrated it working, and we're still not hearing these buzz around the sky?
@@BrightBlueJim I think, you missed this point about Ehang drones. They are fully autopiloted (what Tesla and others want to achieve with cars). The remote pilot control room is only a redundancy safety measure to take control of the drone if auto-pilot fails (something which auto-piloted cars might never have). Whether you are flying at 500 feet altitude on a drone or being driven on an auto-piloted car at 130 km/hr, if there is an accident the chance of fatality is the same. If so, would you call automated cars a joke ?
It is a shame for entire humanity that we only started to use our brains now! When I first saw the drone show instead of firework display I knew already that we have entered the brand new era! I am 33 years old and I was always concern that I was born in the wrong time. Too late to see The Beatles live and too early to see flying cars.... I am no longer disappointed with my date of birth! Because of Ehang we have entered one of the greatest period of evolution in human history! For the first time we are actually going to use our air as roads ! We have just entered the era when we will no longer enter our cars to get to work. SO MUCH POSSIBILITES! We will soon walk on our roads with all the traffic hanged (or ehanged :P) above our heads up in the sky! With no noise and no pollution! Yes. Crashes will happen. Tastings will fail. Some will protest. But this is will eventually happen. We will move our transportation to the air. Where there is no limit in space. Where is no conjunction. So many people die or get permanently ill in hundreds of thousands of car crashes every day. I have no doubt that within the next 50 years we will barely use cars (apart from Hydrogen or electric powered lorries for moving heavy loads). And I know that in the next 10 - 20 years (hopefully if God allows :) and I will still be around) we will already see Ehangs and other drones above our heads from time to time. Carrying people, carrying equipment, providing emergency services, saving lives. FUTURE IS NOW!!!!!!!! Lets fly.
I like rc drones, because people do algorithms, like safe distancing, when objects get close, its A.I reacts automatically and moves out of the way. They even have algorithms, that if one fan/blade goes off, it can react and land safely, or if pushed off course it reacts and automatically stabilizes in air. AI in drones is sweet, also drone swarm A.I is sweet too, and can work together for greater effects. If only planes and helicopters and such that carry humans have similar A.I algorithm's, it would also make them safer.
Losing a family member in an airplane crash had that effect on the president of EHANG. That's why he's making the 184. He wants no more loss of life. Don't forget the ballistic parachute is in the back so even if the whole thing turns off you are still making it home with no injuries.
I would totally buy one if they were for sale! My only issue is flight length, it would be awesome if they release models that are capable for long distance commutes.
I saw one 2yrs ago that Famous Burt Rutan designed! He designed the plane that flew round the globe on one tank of gas! He designed the Canard dual wing planes that use 100hp motors that go 200mph while Cessnas with same motor go only 120mph. The light Canards made of fiberglass are very light +strong. Perfect for Electric power!
This is certainly the future of human short distance travel, this early Ehang design has several shortcomings, mainly the combination of the passengers needing to come into close proximity to the propeller blades, even though not spinning, it is dangerous and the odd design choice of having the center of gravity located above the center of thrust. The computer controls are constantly fighting the tendency to flip over. Moving the motors and propellers up above the center of gravity should be a natural safety configuration that will not need to fight against the vehicle wanting to turn upside down. Watching the videos you can clearly see the vehicle is struggling to maintain a steady and level attitude as the top-heavy design is constantly wanting to flip the craft over. The other concern is that the passenger compartment is too small and it’s difficult to get in and out the design seems to be one of aesthetics over functionality. It is an exciting development that a company has one of these EVTOL transportation devices functioning with human passengers, I look forward to more robust designs in the near future that will not have as many shortcomings.
Apt reply. The bosses there are actually very open to third party ideas. Contact ceo by E-mail directly or talk to sales office directly. Contacts on their website.
I bought stock in ASDN. Germany drone @ .49 cents. Went down to 30 c then 20 c then after 7 months it was 4 cents. One man told me to buy more, I said no way they are going broke. It went to 6.25 a share. I could have made 80 to 90 k for 400 investment. Live and learn.
It really is a fair-weather way to travel with not much stuff. The island travel seems the most useful. Well under the cost of a pilot and traditional helicopter, I can imagine drones being used as much or more than that. I'm not sure how many people rent a helicopter while on vacation, however I can see drones delivering bags from the airport also. I get concerned about the life, construction, and waste management of the batteries.
The ones I've seen have the passenger sitting above the blades. The blades need to go into a higher position so it becomes more like a helicopter. Then it behaves in a more stable way. I've never seen a helicopter where the pilot sits higher than the blades, for a reason.
Where are the wing backpacks? With the drone mechanisms built into wing compartments that house inside a large backpack that can fly a person? The wings come out and you have yourself drone mechanisms built into wings for individual person lift.
Ha ha, you can’t reverse destiny to cater to an obsolete border wall who’s only purpose was to be a fantasy-world cult symbol that bonded racists together in the joint hallucination of ethnic purification.
Autonomous Flying Vehicle makes a lot more sense than Autonomous Car like what Tesla is pursuing. In the essence, Flying Vehicle is a real tool to deal with traffic jam, pollution fighting and emergency usage. Obviously, when the technology mature, there ae many good application like fighting high rise fires, recue, delivery....etc.
My first exposure to "drones" was the QF-102, the target drone variant of the Convair F-102 Delta Dagger. So, willingly climbing into a drone is not something I will be willing to do. I mean, seriously, drones were MADE to be shot down.
The difference is you need a helicopter pilot to fly a helicopter. These things are battery-powered, all you need is to type in the GPS coordinates of where you want to go, and the computers do the rest.
The only things I see that could be a real problem with these is, when there is an emergency and the drone has to land other than on a designated spot, those props could be a real danger to people on the ground. Also what happens if the drone loses contact with the control or hits a sudden weather issue not plotted. The concept is sound but it might be an idea to run a lot more real life tests and throw in some real life potential hazards before letting people ride in them. What if it strays off course or someone hacks the controls or what if it flies into a flock of birds. For sure these may be scenarios that are not regular occurrences but run the tests to see if there would be problems not only for those in the craft but on the ground as the wreckage drops out the sky.
I would really like an abort landing and hover BUTTON, just in case something gets in the way momentarily with FATE. Just saying. Though a rocket propelled ejection seat might be a good extra too! Bond, James Bond!
Like the JATO (RATO - Rocket Assisted Take Offs) rockets they used to put on planes to lift off if too heavy on not long enough run ways by the military. Myth Buster had them on a car, or tried to buy them, but they would not sell them to them, so they did an alternative. But there are differing sizes that can be electrically activated to assist things. So they are light enough that you could make an ejection seat to get some height to open a parachute. Which is not so good if you are upside down... all care taken, shaken and not stirred.
Everything is fine until something goes wrong with the electrical or propellers and it's all done in seconds. With an airplane or even a helicopter you still have a chance.
It has 16 propellers, 6 is even enough to fly the thing, the redundancy built into the machine is crazy. 10 propellers can't malfunction at the same time. So relax, it's safer than the helicopter and airplane.
@@omotolaoyeniyi631 Oh, so you believed that part of the marketing hype. How cute. History is full of unsinkable things sinking and unbreakable things breaking.
@@BrightBlueJim what I'm saying is very different from what you are conceiving in your mind, it's only smart and logical to build so much redundancies into a tech like that. Come on. Forget marketing, that is the fact
All passengers have to do is lose about 20-40kg, do yoga for ten years, then get into the smal cabin. It looks like a small helicopter, but with four propellers... and, y'know, four more propellers, because whoever wrote this script either didn't watch the video, or can't count past four. The drone can fly from one island, to the other. Don't ask which island, or how far apart they are. They claimed that the vehicle runs on electric batteries (NOT the other kind of batteries, the gas-powered ones), but we don't believe their claims, the thing obviously runs on fairy dust. For a twenty three minute flight, using its eight propellers... HANG ON YOU SAID THERE WERE FOUR?!
@@BrightBlueJim why how hard is it to fly a helicopter, if you crash why not make it so if it fails there won't be any any dents or damage and have it water proof in case you crash in the ocean and if you do inflatable should inflate by the press of a button in the cabin so u float to the surface
@@BrightBlueJim ok I didn't hear that it goes back to the main offices to fly remotely, sir how would u like to expand your business/company in selling your products here in Canada 🇨🇦 but another problem what if the weight is over 500lbs with 2 ppl combined
they need to plan for the worst , , what happens if it fails mid flight , for some unknown reason , , ,, maybe an encapsulating airbag or some kind of safety needs to be incorporated before this is the norm :)
I get what you're saying. I would be happy to have to learn to fly one manually and take a test in the same way as you have to for an automobile. One way or the other, flyingi vehicles will become a reality.
I'm a electric vehicle owner. Drone can be used help build and 🚔 police our cities fly drone can be use to drop off police officers . close to crime scenes
The number one ☝️ question 🙋♀️ people should be asking , is how long can this device stay in the air,. If the answer keep coming back to a half and hour, Then this flying taxis are not worth it . Electric ⚡️ batteries 🔋 need a major break Thur if they want us to give up are Fossil fuel ⛽️.
I count, you count. I count 8 Arms with 2 propellers each as well as 4 arms with 2 propellers each. 4 Arms is what they mention in the narrative, but not the 8 x 2. Double the difference in lift and safety. Maybe it changed to be Safer after the CRASH, because I also remember hearing of this same company having the Bosses son die in a crash a couple of years ago or so... This put the whole thing on hold for a while where none was game to fly in it any more. The blind faith trust of ignorance had abated. Of course this is not being put forth in the brochure. I do however like 8 arms instead of 4. Call me Octomystic X2 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜 - 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
Actually that configuration of propellers isn't ideal for efficiency but for reducing the space it need to fly around... So 8 propellers in that setting don't lift as much as 8 propellers side by side with proper spacing...
@@fireworm91 actually after I wrote that, I realised there is two seater model, which is probably the 16 prop version (8 x 2). The single seater original drawing board design, is the 4 x 2, 8 props. But the video I saw about 2 or 3 years ago on YT, they sent a pizza from memory, but was not game to put a person in there. Except to seat while on the ground. The Bosses son dying damaged confidence. Perhaps it is better now. But even a BLIMP cannot take a wind gust well... these probably less so unless with a special recovery detection and correct system.
As long as it has a parachute built in. IM game!
VTOL is becoming more and more of a reality every day
Well, since helicopters have been a part of reality since the early 1940s, I'm not sure now they can become more and more of a reality every day.
VTOL has already been invented, it is used in aircrafts such as F-35s and harriers.
Hell yeah, Black Ops II stuff right there! 💪🏻
Include a parachute for backup if height is sufficient to deploy it.
i had one of their hobby drones, it's a Great company, i love their dedication to Safe technology, may God bless them and anyone watching this video 🥰
Ehang is very promising company!
Been following this company for a few years now, from the time when everybody thought it's a joke

Ironically this would actually be safer at higher altitudes since you need a bit of space between yourself and the ground for a parachute to deploy.
I like this concept a lot. They could call it a hover...no...uh...a helicopter! Yeah, they could call it a helicopter.
Amazing.
Stay slim! To fit in!
Bravo Ehang!
I love ehang
Well I would want a ballistic parachute like the Cirrus aircraft use thank you very much before I would ever go on one of these!
It has so many electric motors; you don’t need that.
I would want to be wearing a parachute as well! However, only a fool would bail out with the blades still running.
License requirements ? Radio communications with in flight aircraft? Traffic and obstacles avoidance?
Good luck getting them here in the UK, we haven't even got E-scooters legalized yet...

Why put the props so low? Wouldn't it be more stable with the props above the passenger compartment?
I don't know, but it looks great!
Prob because of low centre of gravity
This is probably the most misunderstood thing in aviation and rocketry: it is actually MORE stable for the thrust to be below the center of gravity.
@@BrightBlueJim I guess it probably depends on the application and flight path.
Helicopters are not inherently stable in the first place
The ones I've seen have the passenger sitting above the blades. The blades need to go into a higher position so it becomes more like a helicopter. Then it behaves in a more stable way. I've never seen a helicopter where the pilot sits higher than the blades, for a reason.
Where are the wing backpacks? With the drone mechanisms built into wing compartments that house inside a large backpack that can fly a person? The wings come out and you have yourself drone mechanisms built into wings for individual person lift.
I think it would be limited to emergency and taxi service and fire fighters
Automated? Awe! Nevemind.
Self driving or self flying?
I'm going straight to the question.
When do I get to fly one?
We aren't moving fast enough to get these ideas implemented!
U.S. sanctions on China is preventing Chinese technology to go global.

I do however like 8 arms instead of 4. Call me Octomystic X2 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜 - 😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
Actually that configuration of propellers isn't ideal for efficiency but for reducing the space it need to fly around...
So 8 propellers in that setting don't lift as much as 8 propellers side by side with proper spacing...
@@fireworm91 actually after I wrote that, I realised there is two seater model, which is probably the 16 prop version (8 x 2). The single seater original drawing board design, is the 4 x 2, 8 props.
But the video I saw about 2 or 3 years ago on YT, they sent a pizza from memory, but was not game to put a person in there. Except to seat while on the ground. The Bosses son dying damaged confidence. Perhaps it is better now. But even a BLIMP cannot take a wind gust well... these probably less so unless with a special recovery detection and correct system.

If I was you, I would just delete this entire thread in embarrassment.
