    This is an ultralight aircraft. Therefore, you can only fly it to work if you do not fly in any Class A, B, C, or D airspace (leaving only Class E and G airspace) and you don't fly it over any congested area of a city, town, or settlement, or over any open air assembly of persons.

    This is an awesome aircraft. I was a test pilot for Robinson Helicopter company for 30 years and my biggest worry/fear for pilots with this concept is wire strikes. Everything I've seen is low level which is giving the impression that is how it should be flown which it is not. Low level is safe in very familiar terrain but that's about it.

    • @es330td
      @es330td Před 8 měsíci +13

      My biggest fear is mission pressure. One very serious problem in aviation is pilots taking risks they shouldn't because of a desire to "get there." An owner is going to say to themselves "I've got an appointment, the weather isn't *that* bad, I'll fly anyway" and they end up dead. Even at low level running into the ground is going to do damage.

    Consider this when the train was first proposed as a main transportation system. The rumours where that when you go through a tunnel at a certain speed the breath would be sucked from your lungs and you will die. And people thought that engineers were crazy for saying a highly flammable liquid could be used for transportation

    • @michaeld5888
      @michaeld5888 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Well in those times falling from a great height or running in to other objects at even horse speeds was well documented as a great risk whereas high speeds through tunnels were not. I have not heard of the flammable liquid idea so you may have a point there. The contents of Lithium batteries, if this powers the device, seem to be the most flammable liquid yet enclosing all of its energy and not requiring a source of oxygen to burn. The jury is out if this could be a flammable liquid too far but the climate panic has put any coherent reasoned debate out to pasture. My memory of motor bike commuting makes me think the trip to work in an open cockpit in bad weather may be a rather wet, miserable and cold experience at times.
      It is certainly in fine weather an exciting new way to die for those possessing the funds so good luck to anyone wanting one of these. Money does open up an impressive panoply of additional exciting but life shortening activities to indulge in for for sure. This looks a step far beyond a helicopter ride with a rigourously trained pilot which alone seems to reap its fair share of the great and good. Using it to go to work, especially with even hundreds of them wizzing about in all directions, seems a good idea as death in service is often the best result in the long run for one's relatives and dependents.

      You say that yet car accidents are still one of the leading causes of death, that tiny percentage doesn’t matter in that regard (in the US at least). I want to ask you a question, how do you think that safety isn’t going to be this company’s CEO main concern? He has already stated the he wants people with a pilots license and/or have flying experience to be the first ones to fly before they proceed to sell the vehicle and even then he’s still going to have new owners take a training course before they’re allowed to fly. Not only that it’s practically required of him to take the recommended safety precautions with this personal vehicle it’s not like he can just sell the vehicle without consequence. If anything it’s more likely human error will be the reason why this vehicle will be unsafe for someone just like how human error is the cause for the vast majority of the car accidents that take place.

    I ordered one and can’t wait to fly it. The sound is less than a leaf blower, more of a buzz than a roar. Safety is of course an issue, but if I’m going to die, I’d rather drop out of the sky than get hit by a drunk driver on I-95. I do believe the rotors should have birdcages aroud them if possible to protect against small bird strikes or such. As with ALL flight, situational awareness is key for the pilot - know your route, power lines and other objects that might interfere with your plan. EV motors have become ultra-reliable, so if they get the physics and quality control right, these should be safe and awesome in every way!

    The trouble with this dream of commuting in a drone is that once you move everybody from the freeways into the air, all the traffic you dreaded on the ground is now up there with you. So you have the same problem just at a different altitude.

    • @mattc16
      @mattc16 Před 6 měsíci +3

      Exactly. We also have tunnels and multi-level freeways so we already have a way to expand roadways vertically. The only difference is that if you get in a wreck in a flying vehicle, you most likely die while also having a very good chance at hitting multiple vehicles on your way down. Flying cars will never be a thing.

      @@sequencepropertyinspections I understand what you’re saying. However, the same issues that occur on the ground in the big city will still occur in the air. There will be designated lanes and so forth just as there is on the ground. The only argument for it is the speed at which you could add additional lanes above the lanes below, but one of the problems with adding lanes and such is waiting on government approval. In the end, the only thing you’re changing positively is the removal of having to build the infrastructure, but the negatives far outweigh that.
      1. Wrecks will almost always result in death
      2. Vehicle problems will almost always result in death. Something as simple as your battery dying
      3. We will start to kill off all flying animals
      4. The amount of fuel used and energy you need to stay lifted in the air will be much bigger than a vehicle on the ground. Think of being stuck in traffic or stopping at a light. Your flying vehicle will be spending almost as much fuel and energy being idle than it would moving in a direction.
