Flying a $495,000 Human Drone 

This should be closer to $50,000

Now with the hype around toroidal props this could become really quiet and actually usable around neighborhoods and busy areas

Now that's a Spy Kids Helicopter!

They should add a pro cinema camera in the front and a camera underneath the shell to get a landing view.

I LOVE THIS DESIGN!!! kudos to the creators!

I spent 6 years at flight academy and you just learned thing in 40 minutes. Nice😎

A drone should be unmanned aerial vehicle. If a man sitting on it, it should be called something like quadcopter or micro helicopter

I like the flight control method. Anyone can fly this. The control system handles the complexity using sensors.

I love how they placed the propeller unlike the other one looking like it would chop people's heads for sports

Congrats Serg on that awesome experience!!! One of the perks of the job lol so cool!

This device was send from the future! 😳👏🍻

Really cool to see this happening! Great video!

This will be the flying car. Not the 4-wheel look we thought it would be. But this will def be practical. Fully programable to prevent accidents, everyone can fly at different altitudes and flight paths, automated style. Amazing!

Every time I see these kinds of huge, occupied drones, I remember the crash of Flight 19 into the Potomac River and how hard that chopper pilot worked repeatedly to try to help the people drowning in the freezing river by dropping flotation devices and pull lines to them. Something that was automatically computer gimballed, that was slow and steady, could have simply pulled a flat floatation panel with handles over to the crash victims and then had the shore personnel pull them back to shore. My point is that this could have very serious lifesaving applications in the right circumstances, even with a short fifteen-minute flying time it must have. It is a great design. The batteries are placed right where their weight is equally distributed to steady the vehicle and the batteries can be cooled by the blade downwash. The many small blades and engines do not suffer from the huge stresses that huge single blades and heavy single motors do. Plus, the entire drone being unitized makes any worn out units replaceable quickly. Plus, there must be failure protocol built into the computer software so if one of the many lifting engines fails, the rest take over, regimbal the unit steady and easily land it safely to the ground. This thing is brilliant. The only caveat I would have is to never store this in direct sunlight. The polymers it is made of may become brittle if left in hot, direct sunlight for too long. Use on the sunny days for sure but simply keep the thing inside a garage when not in use.

This is EPIC! I do not know where technology is taking us in the future? 🤔

I was excited about this. They were supposed to come to Philadelphia and then Covid hit pre-paid for a chance to take it for a drive. I never got my money back or my ride. Extremely excited about this type of tech. I truly hope one day it does spread and I’m able to take that ride.

They should bring these to places like Victoria Falls and Niagra Falls

This is freaking INSANE 🔥

Amazing amazing!! I hope in 10 years everything is develop and fully functional and public access.

Love this. More and more of aircraft like these need to be made. The more mainstream these become the more prices will come down and I can scratch one of the items off my bucketlist.

"Human drone" congratulations you've just discovered a helicopter

Very cool design! Just wait till battery tech improves we'll see more of this.

Drone-style helicopters seem so easy to fly it's almost boring, which is honestly a really good thing. You can fucking fly, with EASE. You can just get to the skies and enjoy that, not worry about the difficulty. It's sick.

That is incredible, I have a camera drone, I love it and love using it, I'm trying to imagine picturing myself flying a human drone, that will be just awesome, absolutely out of this world, it is expensive though, hope we get to see a cheaper version of these soon.

This looks like the best single person HUMAN DRONE

Thank you for sharing this leaving the original ear bursting audio every flying drone has.

The concept of a drone that is extraordinary genius

I hope this becomes the flying car we were hoping for.

Its a great engineering feat, and very stable in calm ideal conditions. Of course I could question the duration of flight , and legal aspects like flying licence requirements, etc, but you have proved that it doesnt require any real in depth training to fly the craft. So the question will always be, application and market? Despite all that, it is a great accomplishment and a well engineered and controlled flying craft. Good luck with it!

👏😍 Absolutely mesmerizing design! Hats off to the brilliant creators behind this incredible innovation. It's evident that a great deal of thought and skill went into crafting such an impressive human drone. I can't help but wonder about the capabilities and possibilities that this technology holds. Truly fascinating! ✨🚀🤔

I love Sergi's enthusiasm for the human drone, not sure I'd trust myself in one.😮

I’ve seen manned drones before but this one is awesome. Nice build team

I love the design and safety concerns thought out by the designers, like a parachute for the chopper and safe water landing in a worst scenario. Maybe they could cut the price substantially to make commercially attractive vs. a spirts car if they can mass- produce this later?

Fantastic engineer beard, well done

Finally, something awesom again to look at.

Another concept that will never come to fruition. Slow news day

so exited to see what lyft will do with this concept in the future!!!

Pretty impressive! That Beard and Moustache combo is awesome 👍🏻

what a great idea clipping the batteries in that way to save a bunch of wiring and also have redundancy

We definitely need a battery break through of some kind.

It seems very well built indeed. ...........really professional. thanks

Supercar Blondie Absolutely Incredible Video I think the Airlift Hexa is absolutely incredible and I'm Sergi had a great time

i pre ordered the LiftT almost a year ago, cant Wait for it !!

I have a newer iPad Pro. Overheats under hot sun.

Great first human drone!!! I want it for sure but cannot wait till there is a flollow up model which makes less noice and wind blowing

this is the future yho amazing craft

well this is neat

Thank you Supercar Blondie ... Liberty .

That's amazing! Even though it went slow, he definitely enjoyed that ride. I'd love to have one of those if I could afford it. I do wish it had one extra passenger seat. After all last year on September 25th, I was stuck in a traffic jam due to a car accident for an hour and a half. So long I was literally able to walk for blocks on the expressway to see where the hold-up took place. So that alone is why I wish small flying vehicles were more accessible.

It is a very helpful technology but , would it be really safe considering how people can be forgetful. I fear that having a low battery on one of this would definitely be a problem, one can forget to fuel or charge his car and it wouldn't cause much of a ruckus but if one of the batteries are low, it's going to be very dangerous event , also it's really large and doesn't seem fast , collisions could occur easily but all in all great work LIFT , I would love to see more of these tech developments

I like the fact that every motor and battery is independent so if one fails the others are unaffected.

i just fall in love with this Drone.

Now we just need rc versions of this haha

AWESOME

Got to see these guys in Texas at a special event I worked, same crew as in the video, awesome folks 😎

I love the design...

I like the idea of you being under the lifting force. A lot more stable, harder to topple and or fall into the blender. I like that it was built with more motors than what is required encase one farts out. And the idea that it has a chute? How can you go wrong?

Cool invention! I imagine we won't likely see a drone car in use on a large scale due to the insane amount of noise large numbers of them would produce from so much displacement of air; however, I imagine for some tasks (e.g., reaching inaccessible locations for search and rescue) this would be an excellent solution.

And this is the start of future era👌🔥

instead of using generic batteries to run it. use a satalite feed that can send a signal to your bluetooth receiver which then, can connect to the battery charger connector via wifi signals to the bluetooth adapter to charge them while using them therefore the thing can fly without losing power. they would have to create bluetooth batteries that can connect to a nearby antenna that can receive the signal to charge them via air waves from a wifi source type antenna

Amazing

Nice!

POV: apple sponsoring flying cars

A single linked battery mounted below the craft or in the landing pad housings seems like it would make more sense. Pretty sick to see though.

Amazing congratulations to team Lift. A job well done 👍

This is a great design. But I really don't see these going public.

Very practical drone with shape and more safety solutions. Interesting to learn what energy consume this drone per 1 hr flight, what energy per 1 km distance and what power has this model.

Sergi !! Your the best mate!! 😎💚😎💚😎😎

That's incredible. How much fun is that? Price is reasonable. 😊

This is a great idea. I love how simple it is, or seems. Won't mind owning one.

the fact that you are still alive....Tom must be in his Mercy Stage

Me gusta la seguridad que trae ese dron en caso de emergencia!!

I need this. I can see this as a means of transportation in the future.

It looks enormous and the battery mounting gives me the chills. The small hand held rocket solutions seem far more practical and maneuverable.

very clever hanging the batteries from the props, saves a lot of heavy cable and gets cooling

I want this toy

World is developing. Great 🧡

I have fear of heights but this thing is nice 👌🏻 I’ll stick to cars 🚗

Thanks, how unreal video- see you soon~ bestie.

looks like they connect 18 drones together to lift a man

Pretty Amazing!!

What is the weight limit?! COOL DRONE❣️🥰😊

the batteries right next to the motors is a great innovation! idk if innovation is the correct word but its a great idea, genius even (just because, as far as I know, no one else has done it, I bet they will now. wish we had better batteries, or even better, a good power supply to create/generate on board power. Unfortunately these devices will not be practical until we do. maybe a VTOL/winged type hybrid craft, idk. hopefully these graphene "super capacitors" will eventually be the answer. or if we could get solar to work...

Can't wait to go shopping with mines

Amazing. 👍👍🇮🇩

Well done everyone have a great day and evening hello from Columbus Indiana

"I flew to. A secret location .."gives away secret location off the bat😂😂

Who remembers the carton "The Jetsons"? Hopefully I will be around long enough to see these starting to be used for actual transportation.

For 495,000$ I can just go buy a private jet and enjoy flying experience in full comfort :)

Rain, wind, updraft, downdraft, and crash. How will this perform if you're caught in any circumstances from a distance?

Amazing 👏

Now THAT'S HOT 🔥. ALL you need is some force field and... Some wifi with a screen mounted for a PC.

If you see this, I hope you have a good day

This technology is excellent, the only problem is our energy storage problem.

It's brave to try this thing

Excelente Video 😃👌

Amazing sir ❤️
