We built and flew a personal eVTOL in 8 months

- We designed, built and tested this personal electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in just 8 months. While this is a very early tech demonstrator, it gets us one step closer to our mission of redefining the joy of flight while minimizing the environmental impact of recreational aviation.
We are now very excited to announce that we’re accepting reservations for our go-to-market product, the Spinner. The fully featured Spinner prototype will be unveiled in 2024.

Can you please tell me what motors and escs you used for the build, it was pretty cool.
I found a website where one could buy all the electric engines and batteries big enough two years ago. I thought i book marked it. I have been able to find it since. Its easier than you think. If you can build a RC quad copter you can build one to fly in. Dirt bags in high places dont to give people the freedom to fly whenever and whereever they want to.
❤❤❤ brilliant project congratulations ❤❤❤
Great job!!!👍👍👍
Any idea on how many watts off continuous power is required for this flight? I've got ideas... 🙂
What size of motors did you use and what size and pitch is your propeller
Awesome. Many people are making these now, hope to fly one some day.
Not to bad! - but there is no redundancy - if you have a motor failure in flight yours screwed! may there is but is there gps lock to control hover and provide stable flight with accelerometer to counter bad pitch and roll?
Yo I’m trying to build one could you help me out
Hello can you tell me more about the control system you used, and how you tuned the PID parameters? Thanks, this is for my research
Here's a clickable link to our website: www.upwardsaero.com/
the only reason we dont see more of these is the price of the controllers and motors.. some quick math says those alone are 6000 dollars, the props are another 1800 , so it gets expensive fast.
One day these parts gonna be common so after that we can purchase them for a reasonable price✌🏽
@@velociaIN4944 yes, the bldc motors and controllers will become cheaper as theyre being used in more and more sectors
Where did you get your auto pilot to assist you with flying the drone
I'm having a hard time getting help with controls on my project. In specific getting my microcontroller which uses 2 joysticks to communicate with my Flight Controller. Obviously we don't want wireless but every schematic and bit of code uses radio, wifi or bluetooth..
Hey . Könnt ihr was über die gesammtkosten sagen;-) ?
Motor?
ESC?
Can you send me what's details of your project?
@upwardsaero wat kind of control system have used in this flying for altitude and direction Moto controling..
Please Upwards Aero, DO NOT answer questions from viewers!!
Why?
❤❤❤❤its globalskylove
Nice! U did an awsome job that thing looks so cool i wanna fly it
That's good. Hang time, considering it's just as much or more than billion dollar companies can keep people in the air.
The props look like they could chop a finger or two ;-)
Nice job, but redundancy needs to be applied by duplicating the number of motors in order to achieve a safety standard like e-hang has.
Dude your website doesn't work. How do I reserve one?
how many cost this drone making go ????
Bruh u guys seriously considering a 170k price tag? Lots of other more advanced evtols that travels longer ranges for same or cheaper
Or you can a used paramotor for 10k and get hours of manned flight.
@@Uncle_Fred The problem with a paramotor is that you don't have vertical takeoff and landing. So you need a fairly large plot of land to take off with a paramotor. That said, I do think incorporating a wing is the future for these kinds of personal manned aircraft. But the vertical takeoff is a necessary practical feature.
Incredible. There are companies that have spent $500mil and have not gotten as far as you have. Great work!
not really. Building a prototype is 10% of the work. 90% is making it aviation-grade.
While this is a great personal achievement, unfortunately it's a long and winding (and expensive) road to type certification.
You are right about prototypes being 10% of the work, absolutely. And although there is still 90% of the work remaining to make it aviation-grade, since the Spinner is classified as a Part 103 ultralight it does not require type certification! Still a lot of work to be done, but not nearly as much as for a helicopter, or other certified aircraft @@pamirsevincel9118
@@upwardsaero Think HYDROGEN!
Why is no one using Solid Hydrogen? A couple of small tanks of Magnesium Hydride MgH2 and you could fly it all week!
It's more expensive than just buying a helicopter outright
@@blackturbine it might be a shitpost don't take it too seriously 😂
How much???
How far does it fly on one charge???
I'm interested...
How much power is each of those propellers have?
@@smallnuts2 they look like T-motor U15XXL with 57 inch propeller, capable of 202kg peak thrust and I don't remember exactly but i think it about 50kw
