chAIR episode 32 -Maximum Practical Speed TEST! Manned drone quadcopter13:25

Is there a reason why you are still using a timer on a manned drone? To me it would make more sense to have a voltage display or a “Fuel Gauge” seeing as how you are physically on the aircraft. Very cool project and i’m looking forward to watching more of it.

Лети уже в другой город не бойся

WOW well done. I have pretty much followed you from the start of your project, and to watch you fly around like this gives me goose bumps.

‘It’s a huge privilege to sit in the chair and fly.’ You are too modest, Sir. It’s your chair, your flying machine, and it wouldn’t exist without you. You deserve every bit of that privilege!

You, sir, are my hero. Amazing DIY project, indeed.

Супер!

Came a long way from being tethered in your backyard that is amazing

An idea, use every other motor with high pitch props or high pitch on the back hoops or back half of each hoop. Don’t know if that would work, just a thought. I hope you’ll get a parashoot for the alt. testing ! Every time I see you in the air, I also think of springs in the legs (or shocks) in case of a hard landing. Thanks for doing the vids (and helpers).

I wonder if having a pair of high pitch propellers perpendicular to the lifting props would allow for a higher top speed?

Amazing

Wow man, lots of respect! Stay stafe and maybe remote control from a car next time with a sand bag in the cockpit.

And then install iNavflight or Ardupilot and you have waypoints feature. Put a crash test dummy in the seat and you can program the flights needed for speed tests and other tests.

Please note, regarding your comment of vibration, airspeed, ground speed and tail wind. When you are airborne, your craft does not experience different characteristics when flying in a tail wind or in a head wind, other than a change in ground speed. You noted that you have higher vibration at the higher speeds. At 50 kph ground speed into the wind, your air speed is higher than 50 kph. For this discussion, let’s presume a 10 kph wind, straight down the runway. This means that your craft had to travel at 60 kph through the air to keep up with the vehicle at 50 kph.

When you turned around, you now have the benefit of the wind to assist your ground speed. The vehicle traveling at 50 kph, while you keep pace, means that your craft has to manage only 40 kph.

“Upwind” requires 60 kph air speed, “downwind” requires 40 kph air speed. You would certainly feel the difference, as you’ve noted.

For more useful information, an on-board air speed indicator should be used. Subjective impressions are great conversation points, but not good for solid analysis.

I very much enjoy to see your videos. Your engineering prowess is very impressive. Additionally, I appreciate that you are sharing your excitement at successful efforts as well as your learning experiences for those that might not be as successful. A true maker in all sense of the word.

great genius

Terrific!! You are a present day Da Vinci

Beautiful!

Iv always said Air Transport is the future ? No congested Roads No Roadworks No speed cameras No pedestrians just freedom!! ?

what if there were two levels of props, and the top ones could push air down, and also up? If there were a few fans, maybe on the back or the front of the back fans, pulling air in, it might reduce drag.

You are the man. One more step and cover your face and neck. Please! Or maybe lower your seating position to under the rotor disc. I am no engineer but it looks like lot of risk to sit in that position, is that required for stability? With all that being said I would still fly at the way it is because it looks like a blast

You tamed a bunch of electronic wasps. Hats off to you sir!

I think 50 kph is a great speed. When I was a teenager and got my first moped it was restricted to 30mph/50kph.
It would be great, now that you have this built to refine it and make it more efficient but at the same time it is an amazing thing you have achieved and there really should be an award presented to you or some kind of sponsoring.
I love your videos and wish it was me in your seat

6:28 You compared the drag coefficient of a sphere (0.47) to a streamlined body (0.04). In fact the value for a cylinder perpendicular to flow ranges from 0.7 to 1.2 depending on things like surface roughness & Reynolds Number. However since the craft pitches relative to the direction of travel, there is no way to properly implement a streamlined cross section, so what you have is as good as it gets.

That really looked so smooth and easy. I really wanted to be in your seat. 50 kmh is reasonable and on downwind, even faster. I could see you making a cross country trip across fields and then up above the trees to get over. In other words, as we say in the US, as the crow flies. (y) (thumbs up) You could see how it performs in real flying conditions.

This is a beautiful creation, new Leonardo da Vinci!

So all you need to do is 3d print a tear shaped container to put OVER every tube and you would reduce the drag as they adjust to
the direction of motion!

The world is much more interesting with people like you in it. Glad to see you wearing a helmet.

You would would get a more accurate speed reading using a gps wouldn’t you? Cars a notoriously off accurate speed by up tp 10kph.

Waiting for it do Split S and Power Loop.. ?

That thing is bad ass ?? I want a spaceship ? of my own ?

Putting the blades where they can cut the pilot in half does not seem smart.

Do a barrel roll! ?

man i feel with you. wanna try that flying is amazing!

The Wright brothers idea was to not build something stable and easy to fly but something challenging but controllable and master it, like learning to ride a bike

I would like to see a cross country run landing by a lake for a family picnic!

mind = blown

When we are subjected to a political ad, you get a thumbs down.

Very cool!

Cool but it’s not a man drone. Being unmanned is what makes it a drone

can be used to remove dust from roads 🙂

Coongratulations.That was awesome!!!

Push the Price under 5000 mister

Wow ? such a beautiful design. Awesome job on the build .
Also love what you did with your channel you have my subscription would love to have your support as well .

Thanks for sharing my friend.

ATB
-Joe ???

Amazing, simply amazing! Fantastic results, congrats from Russia, waiting for new videos!

Having all those carbon rotors spinning near your chest makes me really anxious. Can you somehow move all that either above or below your body? Or have some sort of a shield at least?

U succ

Why not just use BetaFlight OSD to show cell voltage? Wait…

Russian language. Вместо того, чтобы просто летать по 10 минут, экспериментируй как поведёт себя коптер при отключении нескольких моторов. То, что он летает и так уже видно. А вот, что делать, если случайно отключится сразу штук 10 или 20 моторов, а ты летишь со скоростью 40 и более километров в час ?

humans

This is a man in love with FLIGHT.

i like the idea of many motors to avoid death if one fails but your structure is still a concern for me. The best would be an independent motor mount attached to the seat for each motor but weight would be a difficulty. I envision a set of motor mounts attached to the seat in such away so they could fold back and all be pointing in one direction for transportation. something like this. good luck
:

if a nano scale of this exsist Ham all day!!!

Still just a hovercraft riding on a cushion of air. GROUND EFFECT.

This is really cool Great job.

now it is the time to add redundancy..! Program a second backup system and independant power supply from different batterys and Boards and a system which can handle individual broken motors (fuse the boards?)… with so many components the question is not if something goes wrong but when.. !!(I want to see the project continue!) Then improve every weakpoint there still is.. better overengineered then under..!

Congratsss man!!! keep us posted on your progress. I’ts a preassure to see that things! Hugs from Barcelona!

This is simple AMAZING. Here we have the future of the trafic. Excelente y maravilloso¡¡¡¡¡¡

nice, this is exactly how i used to test the top speed of my rc cars before GPS was invented.

That is an awesome machine ..good job creating it

The small wire that automotive manufacturers wrap around antennas may be worth some investigation to see if you could apply it to help with turbulence around the tubes… I believe they found a large reduction in drag with it…

I love it. Thank you!!!

wowo nice bro~♡

there is several apps that tell you your speed (on your phone)…wouldnt that have been easier?

Next thing you know you will be hovering over the forest looking for “Bigfoot”..!

Nyoom

I wish I could afford to build my own.

Chi phí hết bao nhiêu vậy.

I’m waiting to see these everywhere

Это все графика.

Wow thats unusual

there is a phone AP that measures speed very accurately, ive used it on my bikes and its within 96% accurate or just go as fast as you can and have the car keep up and either get the driver to keep an eye on how fast or film it

That is just above and beyond bad ass engineering and brave piloting skills. You Rock brother! Awesome work.

Adds suck!!!!

Ma, you are crazy!)

Very smart using many small motors

Nice i would buy it if it was on shop

Very cool! For now I’ve given up on my project to build a internal combustion quad rotor due to time and money, but it’s so great to see this craft in the air again. It’s simply brilliant in so many ways. Well done!

W O W ! ! ! !

So lovely to see you enjoying the fruits of your labour. You are inspiring!

+DJ Kinney Touché

This is called real engineers

Oh my gosh, this is amazing! Videos like these should get more views.

Great project! By the way, beware of those rapid vertical descents, the vortex-ring state is always lurking around!

Love

Been following this for ages,I absolutely love it,and want one.

This is so freaking awesome!

Hello everyone, good video & idea, You look very much like the Messi football player guy, very same, im from vietnames , next time my channel will be review about viet nam tourist, i would like to say vietnamese is very nice country, friendly, have many local foods, pls come with us, wellcome u everybody on the words. My channel with love!!

This is just such a remarkable achievement, congratulations again! The control you demonstrate makes this project look so refined, it is easy to imagine practical applications. It looks so fun though! Thanks for sharing.

Darwin Award – coming up.
I think the dictionary definition of “ghetto” should point to this, umm, setup.

+jquest43 yeah i can just see the headlines now, flying chair pilot crashes into buckingham palace or flying chair pilot caught peeking into neighbours bedroom window! Or what about the flying chair pilot who starts up a taxi service but cannot carry the luggage!!

I can see the positive side to all this but I wish people would think about the practicalities of doing this stuff! The authorities will never allow the public to be let loose with PAVs as pilots will be able to ‘fly’ anywhere!

Don’t authorities want to control people not let them loose? People are insane enough and letting them loose on these contraptions will cause mayhem!

And the final headline – armed robber escapes from crime scene on flying chair chased by copter cops!

Fucking stupid!

Why did you not just use a GPS for MPH?

Fantastic build. The control is so precise and smooth

I’d love to have this but my wife would have the return to home button.

Excelente trabajo, felicitaciones

Nishtyak ??

that is so cool

Episode 33: inverted yaw spin

Personally, I’d like an acrylic bubble over the cockpit. A prop failure could lead to a bad day.

since it’s manned, is it still called drone?

Fabulous work what a joy to watch ??? more please.

now thats what i call a multi rotor

Terrible design idea to have your propeller clusters be tied to the center body with cords. Your trust vector is directly dependent on the angle of attack relative to your flight control computer . Should one or more propeller clusters change its angle of attack because of vortex ring state, high wind, partial loss of power or any other reason you will experience sever oscillation resulting in total loss of control. You really should consider making those propeller clusters rigid to the center body. Multiple small motors is a good concept but trying to reduce weight by using a flexible frame and cord is a very bad idea when it comes to multi rotors. Use a rigid frame, your life may depend on it.

Thankx for chAIRing ??

Slic J A rigid frame is a must. Improvements will start to make it more like an electric helicopter but that’s the best way to do it.

Elephants would hate this.

omg i live on an island in finland with about a km gap to mainland… fall and spring this would be great due to ice conditions i need this 😉

Neat, but seems like a death trap.

My cheap little quadcopter has an even cheaper GPS system on board which tells me its speed most accurately. Why are you using a girlfriend-driven car speedometer outside of the copter, instead?

10 foot fall broken bones. 20 foot fall, paralysis and possible death. 30 foot fall probable to certain death. How high do you fly?

I think this is the best manned multi-copter ever and you fly it brilliantly. It proves to me that I will never get into an auto-piloted flying Uber Taxi that uses multi rotor technology. It will never be safe enough. Please do not try manned height trials!

これは良いね

Very neat projects. Wondering how a fairing will aid in lowering drag and also integrating the batteries into the frame more so that not in the square boxes. Seems the modern electric devices are literally a device built around a battery… so integrating the batteries into the frame seems the logical method for main stream mass produced devices. Seems like was noted the low drag airfoil looking tubing might aid in ducting the airflow also and better control and not only reducing drag. That’s a great observation and the streamlined low drag airfoil looking tubing material is what I was planning on using in the recumbent trike designs I was working on. Fairings are the way to go also and can be made like a strip wood canoe method using foam strips and a light fiberglass/kevlar/carbon fiber outer coating. Seemed to me the vacuum formed, though lighter, are more challenging to make. Neat to see the advances with batteries and I wonder if since electric can have more redundancy in propulsion systems to prevent catastrophic events from single engine failures… if generators will be feasible in the future too like hybrid designs as I’ve thought since a young age having a sailplane like a thermonuclear power plant electric U2 style aircraft might be something feasible in my lifetime. Seems with advances in liquid rocket propulsion systems too… there can be emergency braking and hover landing system implemented now days. Anyhow… great to watch the update!

your vehicle is great , no need to go faster ….

maximum possible duration of flight ??

Awww yeah, the angry swarm of bees returns lol. Awesome.

This shit reminds me of Hey Arnold episode where the man has all the pigeons who fly him away.

You should get in touch with some parachute company, get something big enough and try to go as hight as possible and live the experience of really flying. Get Red Bull involved.

The technology isn’t really in question it’s the real world practically of using manned multirotors anywhere that isn’t an open field otherwise they’re just electric helicopters

Cool. Powerful.

This is amazing.

>Manned
>Drone

Pick one

I would actually LOVE to see you fly over the trees!!!

What do you think the range would be at 50KPH?

power loop it!

If you had aerodynamic sleeves covering the tubing that is able to rotate around the tube it will find optimal spot for minimal on its own as your angle of flight changes.

4 hoola hoops strapped to a chair with 60 engines

Nice job! Fun to watch.

nice Venus fly trap ya got there if those strings snap buddy.

Surely there is a cheaper way to kill yourself, nice work regardless.

This is incredible, I have been watching you work on this project for years and you astound me. I very much intend to build something similar myself eventually. As a helicopter pilot myself this seems like the ultimate freedom. I am curious though, what was the reasoning behind building the rotor quadrants at chest level? In my mind, you would increase built in stability and safety by having the disks above your head and having all that weight securely under the rotors? Either way, amazing project and I look forward to your future videos.

Dear friend, please put some more sort of safety equipment on your device. I’m worried for you. Even just some wheels would be good if you lose power: you have a chance if you lose power while have forward momentum, you will land with a bump and roll. As it is, if you lose power moving forward, your front chair legs jam hard into the ground and you go onto your face hard.

looks great…what could go wrong?? get the ole darwin award….lols.

Why do you need a car to pace you and derive the speed when you can use a GPS speedo

quadcopter is a bit of a misnomer…more like a septodecacopter

Watch out! Sun light destroys Kevlar. You may want to replace with new strands and paint it. Be careful. Love the project.

Your control of the machine’s articulate ability is very impressive! Congratulations due!
*IDEA:*
Instead of your body/seat tilting in the desired direction or speed… Have you tried tilting the rotors, or a section of rotors as needed for the specific direction and/or speed?

Incredible machine! Would love to see 1st person footage when flying like this. I’m happy to see you are wearing a helmet and face protector this time. Be paranoid and, blue skies to you!

Thanks for sharing this project… this is the closest thing our generation has come to what it must have been like for those interested in the very very early days of flying with new untested ideas literally flying around.

*** Brilliant idea and execution. I do have a suggestion. You should consider combining several technologies into one VTOL that can fly forward at a fast enough pace to cover some distance. For example creating a very small (2 seats) fixed wing that has props for the Vertical take off and small jet engines or a different set of props that can propel the craft froward. More complicated set up would be to make the props rotate from a vertical to horizontal position but I can foresee multiple complications with something like that. If you shaped the craft properly you could allow it to land on water or ground. With your brain, you could do some amazing things and I bet you could get most of the funding needed through a crowdsourced based site from most of your viewers. I would certainly pitch in. Thanks for all the amazing videos you create.

On forward speed…wouldn’t you have to worry about the forward air pushing down the structure? You have no structure for any sort of negative “G” or the downward force on the top of the propellers and structure. Is that clear? Thanks for posting this!

Brilliant design and the best I’ve seen so far. I’d like to see the chair upgraded to a more practical pod. Maybe 3 or 4 landing / takeoff legs with spring tension to soften a fall or when landing. I wonder how helium could be used to support weight requirements. Incorporating drone/blimp tech. I’d love to see this design improved on because I think it’s the best design out there.

Wonderful good luck and what’s the altitude of this craft likely to be? Have you thought about a parachute like you have on microlights to be safe and also I wonder if you have thought about getting more dynamic lift by building a wing shape which could gain lift from the shape of your propeller and framework housing I’m sure you must have some dynamic lift that is at the moment being wasted by drag. Also please do look me up on YouTube I have subscribed to your channel and I will look with great interest at your future developments thank you so much for the pioneering work you’re doing it’s wonderful to see.

Здравствуйте , думаю Вас может заинтересовать моё предложение по поводу рекламы вашего канала, это бесплатно)

I can see drones using this design flying around soon…. it’s by far the most clever concept. With some more R&D this could be safer to fly than any airplane today.

i think a roll bar and a HANS device would make a helmet even safer. maybe consider a kill switch marked with HiVis paint mounted in a location accessible from the bottom and top should rescuers unfamiliar with the vehicle need to turn it right side up or to pull an injured operator and/or grounded casualty away to safety for treatment.

Betaflight 4.0??

Yeah, odd that he hasn’t put out a video in 3 months while building a rather dangerous looking quadcopter.

@Sir John Hammond I’ve been worried for a month. I tried contacting him on FB a few weeks ago but no response yet.

One last film whist summer still lasts, please. Racing down a forest track, across the marsh and out over the lake, putting your magnificent machine through its paces, showing us some wonderful Swedish country side, before you stop for a lakeside family picnic… You’re a modest man, but pretend you’re James Bond for half a day, just so we can see your drone in action once again!

I must say this is the most impressive attempt at this I have seen to date and I follow a lot of projects.

Hope you’re doing ok. No posts for a while? Looking forward to seeing a new video from you soon!

how long does it works?

I wonder the same thing.

@amazingdiyprojects Cheers, thank you dying from anticipation! Vtol sailplane for longer flight times and redundancy against gravity, Clever.

@amazingdiyprojects good to hear. Hope to see that sometime soon 🙂

He answered two weeks ago in an other comment that he is fine, just busy as a dad. Working on a new VTOL project.

Where is new video? Are you fine?

Next video! Flying it 5km high and skydiving! ???

Damn, 8 months without any activity on youtube, I hope you’re okay.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow amazing…….Good JOb………….

So what happened? 7 months is the longest you haven’t uploaded anything? Did you crash and have been in a full body cast for the last half a year?

Beautiful flight!

Are you still alive or did you crash and die?

You are a mad man! Amazing.

No update yet ? Please, tell us that you are ok !!!

chair racer custom needs to happen

This is so exciting to watch. I can only imagine what flying over the trees must feel like

5 months no updates… did he had a drone accident?… I hope hes ok

It’s been 5 months since your last video. You posted at least every 2-3 weeks before that. Is everything OK? Can someone who reads this give us all any news? Thanks.

Hey man! Hope everything is ok! Haven’t heard from you in a while! If you’re taking a break, then enjoy it! It’s well deserved!

Sou do Brasil assinante do seu canal. Peço que veja esse vídeo pois sei que é muito inteligente e vai agregar muito em seus motores Axial

maybe he’s going to fly instead of hover

next time, altitude test?

Maybe he crashed and hurt himself bad ? He did crash the petrol one he made but luckily didn’t hurt himself

@Goncalo Rijo does seem odd he hasn’t posted for 8 months

@diy guy his domain will expire soon…

I WANT TO BE A GROUND LEVEL INVESTOR IN THIS COPTER, IF YOU NEED MONEY IM YOUR MAN REALLY!

Молодец чувак!

Very nice flying machine…how would battery life and speed change if you take a bullet shaped/aero dynamic dirigible or dirigibles to take the lift stress off the drone motors/batteries?

what is the technical reason why you are not under the propellers like every helicopter/drone I know,but have your torso above the propellers? that puzzles me, wouldn’t that make the drone/flying machine inherently more unstable flying and much more dangerous in case of a bad landing?

Very inspiring.. thank you!

スゲーーー！！！！

I want one! (Natalie, that is). Also quite a cool flying machine ?

No sign from you for a long time. What happened? Are you ok?

Dude, I cannot convey how cool this is, it has to be the coolest things I have seen on youtube, scratch that on anything!

Very very good دەست خۆش kurdstan

Glad to see that you are wearing a helmet in this one. I wonder if it wouldn’t be more prudent to conduct your tests over water so that any structural or power failures won’t result in too much injury? Though I suppose you could be entangled in the structure and drown in a water landing.

Find a lighter pilot. 😀 Surely you can find a 40kg female test pilot 😀

Wow great. what is the theoretical highest altitude?

If 7.5g/W is the thrust/Watts, that’s pretty awesome!! What are the Thrust/weight of the turbines and watts/weight of the motors? Congrats!

There is a very good reason why there are no wheels or shock absorbers.it would add too much weight and he would not be able to get airborne or he would be stuck in ground effect again.

How much sound it produced? Is it bearable to human ears or flyer has to wear ear protection?

chAIR

Very cool thanks for sharing

sounds like a swarm of bees 😀

Brilliant….. amazingly precise manoeuvering too.??

These really should be available to everyone to purchase one if they want to. It would put the car biz out of biz.

I was wondering if instead of 35 kilos of batteries you could set up a generator….that would be cool!

How much money he spent on chAIR?????

я тут каждый год

Right off the bat, I recognize that this contraption type has a couple of weak links. Not the motors as there is a high number of them so if any one fails, it can be compensated for. There must be at least one extra unit (controller, gyro…) that is programmed to take over within milliseconds of the primary failing. Obviously, a fall from even 2 meters height will cause some injury, so extreme precaution is necessary.

Cool, I’d be tempted to fit some wheels and shock absorbers though I think

I was reading the comments hoping to find out where he’s been. Hope he’s okay!

@Youcamp Good news. Thanks

Flip roll pls

Wander no touch for 8 months is he ok ? Very cool project tho we want to see more man tell us more

Drone my ass, and Quadcopter my ass as well. Go back to school and learn the definition of ‘drone’. I mean, go back to school you ignorant, poorly educated, low IQ illiterate and learn the definition of Quadcopter. This is neither a bullshit ‘drone’, nor a Quadcopter as it has multiple rotors and is considered to be a Multicopter. Rather than that, how does it become a drone when ‘drone’ is a word used in sentences and conversation to describe a continuous loud sound? How does ‘drone’ become a name to be used to name anything that flies when the word has present and past participles ‘droning’ and ‘droned’, one plural ‘drones’ and a number of definitions? Where were you born, what education did you attain not to know that? I mean, are you English, do you speak and write English, what have you learned at school? How can you be so sure that this thing of yours is a quad-copter, has it 4 rotors? Ignorance is bliss, my friend. Intelligent enough to make something that flies great, stupid enough to call it a word, not a name, but a stupid word that is the obsession of a high number of trashy educated illiterate dunces. The remaining question would be, just how did you come to think that this thing is a ‘drone’, by what means, how does it fall into the category of being called a ‘drone’ when that falls into a category of a more sophisticated autonomous flying models and aircraft being also called… yep, you guessed it, a bullshit drone?

Красава чел,,

Really cool. Anyone know his name so we can look up to see if he has had an accident or is still alive?

Make retractable Kevlar sleeves for Kevlar lines. This will help with preventing tangling.

What happened? Postings stopped months ago. Did you crash and die?

Предлагаю накрывать эти вентиляторы защитной сеткой, что бы в случае непредвиденных обстоятельств избежать травмирования себя или других.

You should name t. BumbelBee.
So amazing this new flying tech.

Can’t wait till I’m 50 to try this out. 😉

Add some parachute safe sustem and test how high it can fly… And then you can fly without so much risk, cause if u drop – parachute will safe you.

You, sir, need a lighter test pilot – those huge steel balls of yours put too much strain on batteries.

The banking turns really looked beautiful and smooth

Such guys as you give us the future

maximum runtime ????????????????????

What do you call a small, home built, battery powered hovering aircraft when the batteries run out? A grone. Then a stone. Then a broken bone. Looks like fun, though. Just remember John Denver.

Where have you been? You should show some respect to your 60k subscribers and let people know if you are doing ok!

yeah i want one

Hover Walker look like

I would think that the pilot sitting in the chair would add a huge amount of drag and that could be solved by building an aerodynamic cabin for the pilot and by using aircraft aluminum tubing that has a low cross section sort of like a flattened shape with tapered leading and trailing edges.

you need to cover your neck just 1 of the blades break the angle is very close to a neck shoot

This would make a good leaf blower!

The system must of took you out. If people start flying the parasitic infected system will be exposed and dismantled.

Wow. Cool random recommend vid. Your headed in the right direction bro. Good luck

The only limit now is how big the guys balls are. Especially on how high or fast he goes.

Make it a rectangular array then you can shape the tubes into an airfoil for the ones across and more of a vertical blade for the ones forward backward… angle them to create lift at 50 km/h or the desired cruising or top speed

Amazing

U can get a flying car when build up 50 times of its power

i wonder how high this machine can fly?

185 “left handed” ….

Does the pilot not have peripheral vision? Keeps looking at the chic driving the car when he should be looking forward….. frick’n Boob

Great job!!!

Sounds like a swarm of bees.

I would pay to fly it for an hour or own one forever.

use bigger and adjustable propellers

How much do you weigh?

Sadly he strapped himself to a rocket for the next video and that was the end. ?

put a metallic sheeting over that and it will easily be mistaken as a UFO lmao

Amazing work! I like your design. At some point you will want an instrument panel. ALSO, some active noise cancelling headphones, so it’s more relaxing from a noise perspective. Even a phone can provide GPS data for your speed and altitude. All good wishes!

I love videos like this. God bless you.

I want to see your fly to walmart for some milk!

Been a while since last vid a bit of a worry

Mad man genius

I love this! And Thank you for making videos also in English.

how high can this unit go?

achtung! ze germans are coming!

What happened if we are connected the solar panel in this drone

Wait….you want to put the woman in the pilot seat and fly it so you can feel the wind from the motor blades while she hoovers above you ?
Come on man, get over the thrilling rotor wash and fly that thing up a couple thousand feet….. that’s what we want to see… some BALLS

DO IT

Good day dear author! Please tell me how you managed to assemble such a manned single-seat quadcopter?? Just miracles are happening!!! Just great! Thanks!

Hey man! I have been dreaming of something like this since I was a kid! Semi joking, semi serious here, but how could I get my hands on the materials to build one and or get my butt into the one you built to try it out? Seriously the coolest thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!! ???????

Hi is name chairul

In my country there a people not school basic,can to make plan..ultra light

Why on earth would you pace a car to determine your speed when a GPS derived solution would be quite simple.

If you want to go higher add a parasail.

Wow that’s alot of blades! I like it!

I am totally blown away by this amazing build! …No pun intended.

People are more interested in experimenting Coca Cola with mentos than real inventions. ?

A very clever idea. A winged plane uses speed to create lift. Drones like this have to provide lift and forward motion which must need a lot more power. How long can you fly for compared to a winged machine?

OK I’ll ask what everyone wants to know when will this be available for sale and how much will it cost? put my name on the list 🙂

R.i.p man

How much of the full aircraft laws do you have to follow when flying this thing? Do you need a license? Radio? Transponder?

Who designed this? They’re a genius. Also, makes a change to see one of these fly at speed, rather than just endlessly hovering.

you could have just gotten a gps with a speedomitrr lol

That was a pretty dangerous test. You had a woman driver in proximity. Why do you take such risks? By the way, how are you supposed to text while you are flying if both of your hands are working the controls?

There was a spark at the 2.55 mark and 2.561 spark coming from underneath the rear left blade about 3 to 4 feet and then there was an orb just about 3 to 5 seconds after that that flew above your head take a look at the video you’ll see what I’m talking about very interesting

He’s going to be sitting in a chair (with wheels) for the rest of his life when that contraption has a catastrophic failure.

It looks so easy to control I’m so happy to see this in market soon

What is the end goal of this project?

She’s a babe

Man, you are cool

Where did you go?

If the hinges fail it’ll be a bear trap blender

White leo messi 😐

I wish I had engineering skills to make crap like this.

Natalie is beautiful

It doesn’t matter how many Motors you have if you have only one power source that can shut off everything and cause you to plummet to the ground, if it’s not possible for autorotation Landing then your Destin to failure

Do a flip!

do a flip

я один переживал что бы он на скорости случайно кнопку флипа не нажал бы?

It is great. ???

His name is Axel Borg, he is living Orebro, Sweden. And i can not find any accident information in internet about him or his aircraft. I hope you are ok, guy. Feel bad myself about you hide. My english is not well. Feel difficults with reading in it on google. Help find Axel.

OMG your ChaAIR its amazing,

AN INSANE GENIUS, THE BEST KIND OF GENIUS.

Cool, you know you’d get more thrust with a second set of propellers under those with an opposite spin. Look into it 😉

Come on high!

Did you guys even know it took over 4years of hard work to build it up!!!

Wow hey that maned drone is amazing!

Bro how much did it take to make it

Would 4 giant propellers work instead of all the small ones?

Update plss

I feel that if you add a pulse jet and a few rocket assist pods under your chair that you can attain 200 kph.

Fake but cool idea

It doesn’t go very high. I was hoping for 100 ft up or more.

very good!!!
how long time flying?

⛔YOU NEED AN OSMO MECHANISM IN THAT CHAIR….????

Super low altitude LOL hahahaha

Waow,its amazing!!!! In the past the kings will kill you for the secret of flying 😀 Have you done the maximum elevating test?

Wide stance multi directional wheel base so if u have to u can hit the ground running.. ?

Very cool

I do not trust anything with a glide ratio of zero.

Irritating.

Amazing. It must feel spectacular to fly in that – er – whatever it is called.

What is the country ?

Vous êtes un pionnier de l’aviation en drone! J’espère que l’histoire retiendra votre nom, comme Blériot, White, St Exupéry! Vous êtes un héro génial! Bravo, Monsieur?

Of course, if you are going for speed, could you not just place a propeller facing backward from the seat?

I’m sure it’s already been suggested seeing that I’ve just discovered your channel today! But I’ll ask it anyway! Why aren’t you laying down in a face first position! Much like a hang glider would.Much more aerodynamic and stable.
You could have an acrylic cockpit with your controls and a means of securing your tethers for your motors.

THIS IS AWESOME BRO I HOPE YOU SELL THEM TO THE PUBLIC !. I’M SURE YOU CAN MAKE IT EVEN BETTER AND ADD A GLASS CAPSULE TO COVER YOU . BUT PUT A PATENT TO IT !!!

Possibly smaller titanium structure will allow faster speeds

Should people have these or something like these in areas where tsunamis are possible.. They would have to quick charge them as soon as the sirens started. Or keep them charged up higher and assembled in staging areas.

I know it’s late but instead of following the car it should have chased you.
I hope it never happens but is there some suspension or cushioning for a hard landing? I was told really scary stuff about hard landing in training.

Ahora prueba a hacer dibujos en los campos de maíz jeje / Now try drawing pictures in the cornfields.

1000 comments and nobody asked how much power it uses to fly. I did see a dollar worth of electricity somewhere so that could be 5 to 10 kilowatt hours and if it flies for 15 minutes that would be 20 to 40 kilowatts. Funny this was the first question I had when saying it. Really neat project

Real Helicopter around 1.000.000 ??? This thing just 10.000, the Elon Musk of helicopters 😀 Not so sure about practical use case yet, maybe Taxi in heavy crowded cities? Maybe it can make a distance in 10 minutes a taxi in new york would need 1 hour?

Пойдёт!!!

do a enclosed cabin!!

I wonder if it can ever fly above the surface-effect level…

I would imagine you’ve been keeping up to date on solid-state battery technology, there’s been huge developments as of 2019 – good stuff by Goodenough

Leaf Blower: “Well, I’m out of a job!”
Lawn Mower: “If he gets any lower, I’ll be out of a job!”

Use you face visor?

That’s interesting, I wanna try it

Nao entedi nada do que ele disse ,mas gostei muito do seu drone….
