Pivotal | BlackFly Flying Toward the Future 

Keep going, be smart about it, but keep going. Everyone used to talk about the telephone like it was a fancy gimmick and wouldn’t have any practical applications, they said the same for cars, and the wright brothers flying machines. They made history by daring to be creative and invent what we take for granted on a daily basis today. Keep going

The simplicity of this eVTOL is what I love about it.

I never expected to see so much toxicity in the comments…I wish the Opener team best of luck and look forward to flying with them one day

I am ready in Panama to have a BlackFly on my farm to take short hops to the beach. As a pilot of a Cessna 172 the safety concerns have been answered. In time as battery advancement takes place the flight time issue will dissolve. Relax : )

👍 хочу такой !! На работу буду летать ☝

Brilliant CONGRATULATIONS!!

❤ so cool !

Trying to get my hands on one. Any information on y'alls progress? Been following y'all for over a year, very curious when these will be available to the public

Looks like fun

Amazing 😍

Wow

❤❤❤

This is the way forward, great design.

Should add flexible solar panels on the top of the wing surfaces and side of body as well as add miniature wind turbine generators to the sides of the body to extend battery flight time

I got exited when I saw this vehicle first, a few years back. What is the reason this is not yet on the market? is there any technical issues? Frankly, there would be a lot of people that would be buying it as it is.

When you say no licence is required. Which countries do you refer to??

Parts of this video definitely looks like Byron Ca

Im saving up for when these hit the market fr fr I would be so down even as a beta pilot

Just like the first car in the 18th century it's the start of 2045

Price??

Great flyer！

Why does it take off at a 90 degree angle lol😮

Why not have wheels or a base?

BlackFly ❤

Woow wondefull to fly on the air.. Stabil itu and fun.. Very good.. Sukses.. Hi i am @Pag Layang Channel I make to kitefly from bamboo and sticks..

Cool!👍🏼

With solid state batteries, yes, i will buy one

I would like a 300 lb load capacity and autonomous or remote control modes so I can shuttle people or cargo from boat to shore and boat to boat. Perhaps with small wheels the vehicle can get more use out of those wings for lift during take of and landing. If helicopters can use a rolling start, why not the blackfly? Also wondering if toroidal propellers have been considered?

Genius design

A great achievement but I hate the stupid fuselage.

They changed the company name and product name. Helix by pivotal. They promised at SUV price , but now they priced at 190k. I am at total deception.

Flight time and expected cost are legitimate questions. So are safety concerns of something crashing with batteries aboard. That said a cool "device"...

Why point it straight up for taking off? No forward visibility, weird to be on your back looking at the sky.

Make this concept into a drone with four motors and you'll sell heaps of them. Would also be great PR for the ultralight version. This is just too strange to convince people otherwise. It's basically a strange quadcopter and a strange biplane in one, but people are just too easily confused and don't understand how it actually works. Make a drone along the very same lines and people will get it immediately, just because they can buy and try it and will see it flying much more often. You could make an absolute hit out of that with a drone for $999 or so. You could probably even sell it to the military for good money. It has good range (due to efficient flight with wings) and still can liftoff/land vertically and hover. And all of this without having to move wings or rotors. It's an ingenious concept and trying to sell it just as an ultralight airplane is absolutely silly. They're limiting themselves to a niche market with that. The drone market is orders of magnitudes bigger and it would work as a drone just as well.

*Promo SM* ✋

Imagine if those wings could tilt instead of flopping around like a sea horse. For over a decade you have pushed that dead end configuration without questioning obvious short comings. What are you thinking?

Talk about the vehicle instead of playing that dam music crap.

Aesthetics have been ignored to serve function.

The other eVTOLs just look like bigass ugly drones, this one on the other hand is cool as heck

Will never happen. We already have flying cars: They are called helicopters. Unless these things get silent, won’t hit mass market

This is useless. There is no airspace where this would be a viable and safe commuter option.

pathetic company has not even replied to 1 question or comment on their facebook page in 3 years!

A fly doesn’t land like that please develop some landing gears something simple comes to mind otherwise great design

Doomed to failure.

Like a flying tumour. No thanks.

Maybe someday they will TALK about the specs on this novelty toy. Like how short of a flight time it has? Like how little it can carry? Like how hard it will be to get it approved for public flight being totally battery powered? Like where is the parachute stored for when it has an electrical issue and falls out of the sky like a brick? Like how expensive it was to higher all of those engineers and still not making any money? Any potential for getting to fly longer than my mini2 drone? Yes I'm negative Nancy and feel you are failing the viewers of your channel and any fans of your toy.
