Half way between my quad copter and my p-51 warbird. Interesting to see the wind flow between engines 1 and 2.. blade wash seems to be causing back flow of air?
i think its great you guys doing research like that. but I ask my self is that not the least efficient use of those motors. i would think less is more in this case. off course it could be that you are going for less power per motor or something like that. but still it would seem very inefficient.
I really wanted to enjoy watching this video but the video capture device seems like it uses a rolling shutter (often used in CMOS devices) that distorts your propellers so badly that it just annoys me too much. It may be from a weight standpoint that causes you to need to use this type of device but it really does look very bad to me. If you search for rolling shutter vs global shutter you can get an idea of what I am talking about.
+gentle1969 We used five very lightweight key chain cameras to keep weight down. The aircraft weighs only about 55 pounds. As one of our researchers puts it: The warped propeller (called "jelly" by some) is a video artifact caused by the strobe effect of the 30 frame per second camera and the high RPM prop at a different frequency. Sometimes the harmonics match up so that the propeller appears to stand still. Sometimes they are just slightly off and it appears to warp the blade or disconnect the blade tip from its root.
Just been looking at the image of comet 67P & looks to me you can make out three human like figures of an old man attended by s man & woman. The younger man appears to have a Mohawk.
So nasa is ripping of and spinning quad copters now? Id love to see how much this costed. Considering how Nasa launches billion dollar disposable bottle rockets compared to Virgin galactic's 3 million dollar reusable transforming space vehicles..
+PowerfulDragon A lot of that is wind noise and proximity of propellers to microphones. If you look at the previous video: ruclips.net/video/kXql26sF5uc/видео.html it is not so noisy aloft.
what is the use from this ,just asking for getting information for me not for discouraging its a nice invention but i dont know its usage any one tell me !?????
I love all the ideas that people come up with! They are so cool
Excellent flight!
This is incredible
Seriously awesome Airbus. Make us proud!
This is awesome!
that is pretty dang cool
I know what to ask for christmass :-)
Nice video! Thanks for sharing.
Nice flight!

Needs more Grease soundtrack.
Cool! Have you thought of small side fans to rotate at the tail? Allows easier change of direction when the wings are vertically

And this is what your view looks like as you near the event horizon of a black hole!
Very cool. How much current are the motors drawing on takeoff and landing ? I bet that's a significant part of the battery life. Great job.
+John Dorney Our engineers say you are right - take off/landing does draw a lot of power - about 100 amps.
working for NASA must be a blast.
+Wickedashtray We think so!
+NASA Langley Research Center Rub it in!
punny
just amazing
in cruise mode, I see quite a bit of aileron flapping.
Awesome!! How long is it able to work (batteries autonomy)?
+miguel paz TOur engineers say this prototype, which is all electric, can fly about 10 minutes. A produced version would be a diesel/electric hybrid.
Not VR, but 360 video.
+Mocib Thanks for the observation - we changed the title of the video because you were right.
Still awesome :)
nice can I buy a frame like this?:)

What are the chances of this type of flight on other planets?
+Darren Kammer Why?

@@darrenkammer985 YEAH

Really, NASA? You had to include the audio? smh

molto di + del telegiornale
Those 360 cams are so disorienting... Please, normal view?!?!?
no way! they're awesome
+Allyssa Lord ... my problem is, I'm starting to watch where one side ends and the other starts and I forget to watch the main subject 😜
+Marc Holloway We have a previous video that has a standard view: ruclips.net/video/kXql26sF5uc/видео.html
+NASA Langley Research Center Thanks very much for the link. This also gives you the sense of scale. Great video. 👍🏼😊
Too big black Area in this Video. An other Video from you are better, without or just small "black Area". Best reguards.
Meh, for me it's 16 propellers or nothing
get a stream going!
looks cool, yeah, but f***ing noisy. imagine it larger scale... so loud.
+PowerfulDragon A lot of that is wind noise and proximity of propellers to microphones. If you look at the previous video: ruclips.net/video/kXql26sF5uc/видео.html it is not so noisy aloft.
+NASA Langley Research Center That is for listeners on the ground!
+NASA Langley Research Center oh my god... i'm having a moment because nasa actually responded to my youtube comment.
+PowerfulDragon Carbon fibre is noisy...
+PowerfulDragon The bigger ones are called Ospreys, and they are pretty dang loud.

....Just another Noizey drone with a camera on it?.......BIG FUKN DEAL??...
Once put men on the moon. Now flying Styrofoam RC planes........ THANKS OBAMA! SMH..
Lets get back into space!!
