Also another suggestion is when you do make different sizes skypaks you should make some that are really light and that have even 20 kg of thrust lots of people would be happy enough just to be able to jump higher and not fly because i dont think alot of people will be able to carry something that heavy.
@@AscendDynamics exactly and also mabye even remove like the bottom 2 rotors would also reduce alot of weight but you will lose 1/3 thrust i think doing that would make it more practical what do you think would be a better way to make it lighter make the rotors smaller and everything lighter or remove some of the rotors.
I'm guessing the skis are for balance, have you tried 180lb. dummy.? Be great for landing on snowy mt. or water!! For land you can make some cushy soft ones.
Yep, the skids were to keep it from tipping over (worked most of the time) for the manned version we will just carry it as a backpack and won't need skids at all.
What safety features do you have in mind like what if all the motors fail because due to the weight of the skypak falling even at half a Meter above ground would be dangerous.
Yes, That's one of the biggest things I'll have to work through. I think it will come down to using high quality components and completely redundant system designs. We want to have the systems designed such that if any given component fails it will not crash. There are whole segments of engineering devoted to this. I'll probably have to hire an "expert" haha!
I'm not sure yet. Those are details we haven't worked out yet, and really they will continue to evolve as the prototype/design does. IT needs to be easy to put on and also feel good on your back. Like a good backpack would.

It could be like a moon simulator to imitate the gravity on the moon.

What are the chances of it catching on fire for the human sized one.
Not very high, but lipo batteries are a hazard.
How much will the certified version weigh and how much would the parts weigh alone etc motors, batteries and everything else.
Does this have a harness and how will you be able to put it on do you put the skypak on your back first then do the harness how dows it work.

@@AscendDynamics mabye you could have like 3 sizes 2 rotors with 40 kg thrust, 4 rotors with 80 kg thrust and 6 rotors with 120 kg thrust.
