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

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

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

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

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

Really cool to see this happening! Great video!

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

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

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

This is freaking INSANE 🔥

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.

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.

It's very nice looking, indeed! But how long do the batteries last? Is it possible to use hydrogen engines or gas engines for longer rides?

Finally !!! putting the cog lower than the props for MAD stability. Ive been saying this for a long time.

👏😍 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! ✨🚀🤔

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

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.

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

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

How long do the batteries last before needing recharged ? Also is there a single block charging unit that will charge all of the batteries at the same time ? Can it be programmed to fly a present route. ? How far can it fly round trip ? How much are additional batteries ? And does it have a home function ? so that if an operator is having a medical issue . then they can hit a Home button and the unit will travel the same path back home and / or a preset course in case of some emergency ?? And what is it’s standard max flying speed ??? What is it’s maximum payload capacity ?? Is the parachute once. deployed reusable ??

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

This device was send from the future! 😳👏🍻

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

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

They didn't mention anything about flight time. I've read that it gets about 15 minutes depending on the weight of the pilot. I'm not sure if that was the prototype or the present model.

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

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.

What’s the fly time on one charge ?

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

this is the future yho amazing craft

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!

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

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...

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

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.

This looks like the best single person HUMAN DRONE

We definitely need a battery break through of some kind.

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

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

AWESOME

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

And this is the start of future era👌🔥

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

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.

Amazing

This is really crazy man

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

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?

The concept of a drone that is extraordinary genius

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.

i just fall in love with this Drone.

Nice!

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

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

Sergi !! Your the best mate!! 😎💚😎💚😎😎

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

Now we just need rc versions of this haha

Wow. I starting to see the future. ❤❤❤

Super video bedankt.

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

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

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.

This is just insane amazing 🤩🤩🤩 a drone from future 😍

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.

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

i just paid $1,500 for my dji drone package with a 400ft height restriction. now imagine paying half a mil for a human drone with a 20ft height restriction in your back yard 🤣🤣🤣

I love the design...

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

Amazing. 👍👍🇮🇩

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.

Beautiful❤

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

Amazing congratulations to team Lift. A job well done 👍

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

Amazing 👏

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

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

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

north-south east-west only and only the "#SupercarBlondie" is the best❤😍

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

Pretty Amazing!!

Can't wait to go shopping with mines

More than awesome

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

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

Take my money 💰💰💰💰, I want one when I can carry a few passengers. Awesome job 👍

Amazing.. What an experience it would be to fly this some day.. Lads, Any chance of one of those Lift Polo Shirts..?

How long can it fly on the battery? Can't be very long: batteries are heavy.

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

Add an unpiloted mood with max altitude of 6 inches and who needs wheels, just nudge it and it floats where you want it go go.

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

World is developing. Great 🧡

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

What about the flight tine / distance ? Is the drone carring the charger , also ?

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