World's first manned flight with an electric multicopter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 жов 2011
- The first manned flight with an electric vertical take-off and landing multicopter (eVTOL) was performed by Volocopter. The flight lasted 90 seconds, after which the pilot Thomas Senkel stated "The flight characteristics are good natured. Without any steering input it would just hover there on the spot." The flight, which is a Guiness World Record, was performed on October 21st in 2011.

I do real appreciate this people, they do a lots of research toward this future machine in years to come, for a new generation to come, my encourage keep it up a good work.
Very nice and certainly cutting edge in 2011!
The pilates ball is a great solution to the eventual spinal crushing of other sit-down manned drones.
Now this is the coolest thing I've seen all day.
It's working.... IT'S WORKING!
Your an odd sight to see here

Just skip to 1:44 and stop watching by 2:37 if you make it that far.
MothaFxck This comment :D
MothaFxck Thanks buddy. Impressive, but also, lacking somehow. Good project though :)
+MothaFxck Thanks for the tip. This whole video is really only 30 seconds long surrounded by tons of TL;DR / who cares.

This music would indicate this flight happened back in the 70's I guess.
Ryan Roga what would you prefer, today's shitty music? Then again "wrecking ball," would probably fit nicely in this video.
Looking at his safety gears i thought he was going to outerspace but he never even left our planet earth.
looks like something you'd build in gmod xD
Thanks for the thoughts you have shared here.
Love it, I want one:-) Well done:-)
Ok

I love how you still just control it with the TX and hope nobody else get online on the same channel even when you ride that thing.
Great edit! Thanks for sharing!
I agree the seat below the structure would lower the center of gravity making it easier to balance.

ITS WORKING !!! ITTTSSSS WOORKINNNGGGG! -Anakin Skywalker

def needs 4 cables extending down to a pilot chair about 30 feet underneath. the cables should attach to the 4 furthest points from the center on the quadcopter for stability so you're not swinging around at all.
Great job Thomas!!! That's amazing idea!
Anyone wondering about the motors used, I did a little research and found this quote about the motors "Thomas Senkel develops the necessary electrical motors and designs the first prototypes"
They are apparently custom built
Is like flying between a bunch of enraged samurai chefs.
Is that a yoga ball underneath the pilot? genius! You make us dream guys
The yoga ball is pure genius! :D
A demo called "Why petroleum controls the energy markets". :)
I like the Stability Ball Shock Absorber System. LOL
I think that was actually a pretty ingenious engineering solution for the purposes of prototyping. Light weight, good shock absorbing characteristics, cheap, easy to obtain, sufficiently durable, etc. I'd call that good, original, out-of-the-box thinking even if the concept appears a little absurd in aesthetic terms.
violetxoxox to tell it all, it MAY be also the best final solution. If you can have a lightweight elastic thing absorb impact when landing, and thus save a lot in energy terms, why would you mount more resistant, heavy feets? For what purpose?
***** You wouldn't. This is clever. It's the bounciness I found funny. I was picturing the first time someone lands at an angle and goes hippity-hopping down a runway. ;)
violetxoxox for such a thing they will surely put automatic landing :D
***** One hopes.
mate that was just awsome, had to see it to believe it, you defint could see a little flex in the structure , no photo shop on this quad lol
Gives a whole new meaning to FPV
atleast with this flying height we can avoid ground type pokemons attack :).hope it increase in future in sha allah

Nice job, guys! Can't wait to see the first product for beginners
That was just awesome lol well done.
Love your channel!!
excellent air frame. it would probably be even more stable with fewer but more powerful motors/engine's
ua-cam.com/video/GKBNTP6D1ag/v-deo.html these guys here achieved high stability with 32 motors.
I think they will be less efficient than fewer ones, but they are potentially safer if one or more motors fail.
I think that's better for manned flight - so far -, but cargo drones would be better off with only four or even two motors.
THIS....IS....INSPIRATION!.... I NEED TO MAKE ONE OF THESE!....NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!
EXCEPT smaller though
Getting to work and back will never be boring again. Lol
heh

Just be careful man it looks dangerous
That's a fancy helicopter, you've made, there.
Thank you
Wouldn't it make more sense to have the cockpit beneath the propellers?
If you added longer struts to hold the craft higher off the ground, you could sit beneath the propellers without worry of a blade snapping off and potentially flying towards you.
Also, it would be easier to enter and exit the aircraft because you wouldn't have to climb on anything and your weight below the aircraft would help reduce the potential of a flip.
That's just my two cents but I do like what you guys have accomplished.
Exactly!!....I believe the center of gravity is reduced when placing the seat below the props?
i agree better and safer underneath it would be more stable and easier to steer and no fear of ending upside down , but this is a great flying machine
They chose not to since they're fully aware that the inventors of helicopters would sue them for copyright infringements.
Im joking by the way
wtfboy32
I wasn't sure if you were trolling or what. Lol.
Like how the landing gear is an jazercize ball.
out standing!!!! its an amazing work.
Accidentally, slip up and fall onto that rotors and here you go, you made out of yourself a mincemeat.
Wow that helmet is going to do loads to save you if a rotor breaks and imbeds itself into your chest
"Hun, I'm taking my flying thingamajig into town to buy milk, you need anything?"
jandroid33 digression
I like the use of the pilates ball to add some shock resistance. "Hmm. I need a low weight, low cost shock system. What could I use?" "Well, while you figure that out I'll be working out honey." "Uh, no you won't be."
Hatsoff man it's awesome.
gotta love the landing gear!!!!
Why can't I stop laughing at that thing!!!

Love the exercise ball for a shock absorber
This guy is really on the ball.
A lack of focus and hello sashimi !
OMG! It's held together with zip ties, electrical tape & bungee cords, and it's sitting on a rubber ball! :)

congratulations that's awesome!!!
3 cheers to you gentlemen.
that balloon, ingenious !

It's actually that balloon that makes everything fly. The rotor blades are just there to change direction and move horizontal.

Com muita alegria te convido a visitar nosso canal Jesus já
If you could make one just like giant parot drop it would be cool
respekt! Das habt ihr sehr gut hingekriegt! :D
That was awesome
They need to add a metal cage around the propellers for safety purposes.
I dont think they need this any more. watch theyre velo copter video.
Why? Regular helicopters don't have such guards on them. Avatar was not a documentary.
Physics dictates weight to lift.
Martin Willett Helicopters don't have prop guards because one is unlikely to get caught in them while sitting inside, on the other hand this copter presents a more evident threat to your composition; indeed when taking into account the exposed position of the pilot.

Gotta love anyone puttin in work for the VTOL movement! Great vid!
KEEP GOING SIR ///CONGRATS FOR THIS EXPERIMENT
If one blade fails, how will it affect stability?
Awesome, I like that, it would be cool if it could be fold and carry easily with wheels, and it has long life battery.
It's infant technology right now, just wait long enough.
Batteries are about to undergo a graphene based revolution. Fortunately the proliferation of smartphones, electric cars and all the other ways you can make money from decent battery technology means there is serious amounts of money put in to research!
Is as easy as to build lithium ion crystal batteries, more resistant to heat, more powerful and better.
Historical flight!
LOL!! Is that really an exercise ball they mounted it to? That is hilarious. Anyway, nice work!
Sure it would be more stable of it wasn't human controlled but done by computer and sensors. It could amazing - respect to the lunatics who try it first.
+K Russell
It's both. Multi-rotor aircraft are stabilized by gyro-and-computer control systems. The pilot's control input tells the control system which direction he wants the aircraft to go, but the actual motor speeds are controlled by the computer to keep the aircraft stable.
It would be better to be seated underneath the propellers, as can be seen in the comments below, some people are afraid of cuts. It would also be more stable.
Hence the design of the VC200 !!
Congratulations, successfully created
Taking FPV to the next level.
cool, that the great work DUDE.....!!!!!!!!!!!!♥!!!!!!!!!!!!
AWESOME

If the pilot was lower or the props higher it would be more stable.
+Kirk McLoren If you look at their follow up projects it is clear they know this already and this was one of several prototypes made to test the idea. Their VT200 has more rotors all placed above a traditional cabin with usual cockpit.
+Kirk McLoren Not necessarily, it's actually possible to have the main load mounted high with the rotor(s) underneath. This particular aircraft is artificially stabilized using gyroscopes and a central computer to control the speeds of the various motors and keep the machine level. The pilot's control inputs are mixed with the gyro signals to provide full flight control.
While this large machine has many more motors and propellers, small four-motor RC drones use a similar control system that uses gyro signals to control the motor speeds, keeping the aircraft flying level (or in any orientation desired) without constant pilot input. This type of aircraft would be unflyable without the stability augmentation system (gyroscopes and computer control).
i heard somewhere that it was actually the other way around, some rocket scientist on the internet actually explained that it is more stable to have rotor beneath the cargo/body
Minepebble Neither configuration is more or less stable. All of these aircraft are artificially stabilized through active stability control, using gyroscopes and computers to control the speeds of the lifting rotors, to force the aircraft to fly in a given attitude/orientation unless deliberate human control input is applied. It has nothing to do with the physical aerodynamic properties of the vehicle itself.
If the center of weight is in the middle it doesn't matter
very nice & good concept
My friends dad is actually an engineer with his own company... And he is investing thousands and thousands of dollars into making on of these. There is a slight difference in the design though. It will be done in about 7-9 years. Very cool!
so much force needs much energy
I have no doubt that with the drone software out there today, it would be possible to create the world's first flying car tomorrow. However, I believe the reason that flying cars haven't taken off yet (no pun intended) is because of a simple yet frightening problem - Like with a helicopter, if there is a breakdown of the engine, one cannot simply pull over. The car would drop like a stone from the air. Even if the car came equipped with a parachute, it would still be a hair raising experience to have a breakdown midflight. Thats why unless we find a way to anull the force of gravity, the only practical flying cars are the one's that are a hybrid between a plane and a car and have wings to glide through the air. Any other kind of flying car would have to have a safety instruction manual that said - "In the case of engine malfunction, 1. - Place your head between your legs. 2. - Kiss your ass goodbye!" LOL.
My friend and I were discussing gimbals on multi-rotors to stabilize cameras. I guess you kind of got there... With a Gym Ball .... ????
Go higher man !
thank him v for this 1:44
what are the names of the motors
That is Awesome, Bill
Looks like a drone married a rainbow vacuum cleaner. But, congrats on being a modern day Wright Brother.
absolutely the future. Die Nachste Zukunft.
At the end the camera should have panned up to the moon to indicate that they were getting it on.

Really wonderful
his wife knew he screwed up so she gave him a hug lol
Einfach Super XD
you guys should team up with Colin furze
i love this copter i want one :)
flying the radio with full gloves very bad idea! at least snip the tip of the glove fingers that you hold on the control sticks..safer more control.
awesome video :)
Beautiful
Whoa maybe next they'll put more seats in, then they can make it even bigger, then eventually they may only need to use one propellor...
turns into helicopter
Hi
How are you
I know
Can you help me
KSP, aircraft with radial seat In nutshell
CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!
good! hugs from Brasil and congratulations! :)

wanted to see him go as high as he could till the batteries died...
And then?
+Mike Peabody what els :)
THIS WAS AMAZING. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I ENVISIONED AND THOUGHT OF ENTIRELY ON MY OWN. I KNEW IT WAS POSSIBLE.!
OF COURSE I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE TO REALLY BUILD ONE MYSELF,, BUT I DID ENVISION IT , AND MY IDEA AND DESIGN WAS VERY SIMILAR TO HIS.
Really? Wow!
Fascinating.
When your girl messages u saying she's off her period but all the airlines are fully booked.. XD
Pourquoi mettre le centre de gravité au sommet de la machine ?
I just had the image police chasing him
him saying you will never catch me alive
I hope this can be made into something a little more compact, and brought into production for consumers. I'd love to jet around in one.
i would of at least fllown around my neiborhood show off my new way to avoid traffic on the way to work.very very cool.
