Flying a $495,000 Human Drone

This is the Hexa Lift, a single seater drone that anyone can learn to fly with under 1 hour of training. The Hexa Lift will be the first recreational aircraft available to the public and will be available for anyone to experience very soon.

Thanks to Lift Aircraft for inviting us! Check them out here...

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

[readysetdrone]

Really cool to see this happening! Great video!

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

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

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.

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

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

[mattalley]

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.

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

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

[drgeoffangel]

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!

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

[ashhawk]

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

[ideaynojodas]

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

[FutureEon]

👏😍 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! ✨🚀🤔

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

[Yeahfree]

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

[mariofpv]

This device was send from the future! 😳👏🍻

[jeffswope]

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

[OngezoutenMening]

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