so a helicopter?
Yep, even lighter so it can remain grounded in more weather than the others too.
Hopefully it’s quieter than a typical helicopter because ordinary helicopters are really loud
Pick me up on my lawn in between the trees and powerlines and take me to the city center.. mmm. If only there was a place to land. Ok take me home.
honestly after i saw what happened to kobe im even more sketched out by private helicopters
You need 2 more layers of bubble wrap! And don’t leave your home! You’ll be fine..
$500 dollars later
Lol they made it really Drone looking
Nothing wrong with this Prototype!!
You just need a clearance of 20 or more feet on your lawn!!..
P.S. wait till some drunk. Decides too get out & walk while in the air.
Lawsuit waiting to happen. 🙄
Looool
Automatic lock till landing.
Someone is still gonna die somehow.
Can it carry obesed Americans?
That’s why it’s only certified for ONE (900 lb) passenger.
No, for that you need a Sikorsky😂
wow the nineteen fifties finally came to france…
Seems a bit much for only one passenger.
Wait until you have to pay the fare!
They look ridiculous. Like giant drones. Can’t take them seriously.
then go design something better
Gary M I can have an opinion about it without building one. Moron.
99.7% recovery rate
$75.00 a minute. Per 1 person
This is a joke!
You’ve never seen a helicopter before? 😂🙄
A skud missile outta Nowhere….boom!!
😆
Batteries, not ‘environmentally’ friendly. Just an oversized drone.
Not feasible. Look how many pieces it has!! Think about maintenance & stormy weather.
And when birds fly into the rotors do they have a plan for it crash landing? Or is it just a cross that air bridge when we get to it
It’s literally just a small helicopter
