This should be closer to $50,000
YOU can make one for less, lol, and yeah, YOU are correct-
I agree nothing to special looks more dangerous than anything I wouldn't trust it would only last a couple of years if even 😂😂😂
Now with the hype around toroidal props this could become really quiet and actually usable around neighborhoods and busy areas
What happens when a car breaks down? It stops. If these break down in busy areas they will just fall out of the sky. Not ideal
Parachutes duumbass
Also if you can’t dodge this dropping out from the sky with a parachute
@@Shadow-gx8vg Well, better than falling out of the sky without a parachute.
Yes that one is too noisy plus if they make a cabin with noise cancelling and an air bag deployment under the seat if it crashes below 12 meters I would consider flying in it.
They should add a pro cinema camera in the front and a camera underneath the shell to get a landing view.
It has.
Good job
I LOVE THIS DESIGN!!! kudos to the creators!
Impressive. Design is a bit clunky imo
@@nighthawk0077 Idk, how much sleeker could it really be, with engineering considerations included.
im not going to give my fall guys kudos to the creators
Unique video
Not impressed at all. Noisy.. unsafe, expensive.
I spent 6 years at flight academy and you just learned thing in 40 minutes. Nice😎
They drove it for him via remote
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
Helicopters are way more complicated than airplanes which are more complicated than drones
You can't fly a helicopter with a few minutes tutorial
@@cedriceric9730 a drone, by definition, has no onboard pilot. This is not a drone. It's a helicopter.
@@pdloder with this helicopter, apparently you can.
@@nboughen this drone can be piloted from the ground or have a complete flight course pre programed.
Technological breakthroughs require redefinitions of words.
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.
Good job

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.
The battery time should improve. Excellent works.
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 would not want to be under a woman flying one of these !
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? 🤔
its probably gonna doom us. this also isnt new tech
The government will find any excuse to shoot you down bro
@@hairychesticles1😅😊😂 ohh calm down its just some flying apparatus. Its not gonna end us all.

@@chickennuggets5549 sure pale. That thought is soo evident. You actually need to preach it to others people in a comment section to act like you believe it's true yourself
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.
China will make a version soon
@gpierre90, I've not flown a drone but I wondered why more of them do not have "enclosures" for the blades given one of the most common reasons for crashes is the blades getting too close to something. It looks like it'd be a fun "toy" but an awfully expensive one and I'd be concerned about the parachute deployment, do all blades have a "kill" switch to instantly shut off power & cease rotation the instant "emergency deployment" is required because otherwise what stops the parachute/ropes from getting caught up in the blades if any fail to stop.
@Zenith Perigee well, regarding the blades, if someone wants they can buy aftermarket protection for the blades, some drones like DJI have safety sensors around the drone, it will prevent you from crashing the drones into objects, however some people prefer to deactivate the sensors, if you are a beginner, it is not advisable, your right about some drones being expensive, if you want to fly better to start with a cheap drone, learn how it works and how to fly it before progressing to advanced and more expensive drones. Now with regards to safety and the parachute system, I am sure there are safety procedures in place. I believe the blades will stop spinning of course, there will be an emergency switch. If this human drone operates similarly to the DJI or other advanced drones, I bet there are such things in place.

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!
How long this "flying car" can fly? 30 minutes is not enough.
@@alru7307 I'm sure the Ford Model T didn't have the greatest range either when it first came out..
@@KennethStevenson3 The biggest problem about all these flying electrocars is the battery. Precisely saying - low energy capacity, moreover the electrical energy is the most expensive type of energy. It took Ford 20-30 years to make a good engine, a comfortable cabin. What will it take to make a cheap safe and good all-weather battery?
up and down. thats all i saw... very practical..... amazing..
@@TONYPARAMOTOR very good for park amusement
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!!!
Lift
@@olatron no the company is spelled lyft
@@Killjoy294 Nope. It's Lift - it's written on their shirts and i've just visited their website.
@@Killjoy294 20 iq.
@@edenassos how is that 20iq The company is called lyft and they do uber services/ This LYFT company now developed a flying vehicle called hexa lift so you can lift yourself where you need to go. Stupid
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?
Vs. a SPORTS car, I mean.
Best video
Fantastic engineer beard, well done
Finally, something awesom again to look at.
This looks like the best single person HUMAN DRONE
A human drone is a human that is remotely operated 😂
I agree. Stable design!
What are you comparing it to ??
Looks like a simple version of the Volocopter.
Still I’m happy to see this and it’s cool to have something affordable.
Good job
We definitely need a battery break through of some kind.
Iron man is real, except for the power source.
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
Amazing
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.
I tried to buy one the other week .
but I was £10 short they wouldn't sell me it 😂
@@jackwatsonepic626 in that case I hope you will be able to afford one before the end of 2023
Only then a bunch of idiots would be crashing in the air and taking out people, cars and houses coming down.
@@bracebrooks967 😂
@@saranrobert you're right about that, so I hope one day I'll become wealthy enough to be able to hire my own helicopter pilot.
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?
Floating and a tow hitch is brilliant too
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
Well each motor has its own battery. And I reckon a few would need fail in order to freefall from the sky. Most issues would result in a slow descent. As Is usual with electric helicopters that I fly as they're battery depletes to critical levels.
Its about the same dangers as flying any other aircraft, it all just comes with aviation.
DJI drones do a lot of power calculations to give you warnings and indicators of what you are capable of doing with the current battery state, i.e. "this is how far you can fly". Works pretty well most of the time, but one time I was flying about 1 mile out and the software said "HEAD HOME NOW". I started heading back and I guess it couldn't account for a headwind. Due to low battery, it ended up auto-landing about a quarter mile short whether I liked it or not lol. Luckily the GPS told me where it was and I went and picked it up. I would think more advanced systems could compare wind speed to ground speed or something of the sort.
It won't allow you to fly without all the batteries more than half full.
I pretty sure once you get in the craft, it will warn you if your batteries are too low. To be honest, the unit probably has safety measures built in to tell you to land if batteries are getting too low while flying. People who buy this will probably use it for short distances like moving around a farm, large property, park, etc. lastly, I’m sure they designed it to where if one or two propellers malfunction, it could still fly enough for you to land it safely. My only gripe is that you’re exposed to the elements. If it starts raining or it’s really cold, watch out!
Now we just need rc versions of this haha
No sir I would not trust my life in any other pilots hands but my own 😊
@@DRIFTWOODJONES43 you've never flown commercial?
It already is; didn't you see the big remote at the screens ? I strongly doubt our intrepid UA-camr here actually did any "flying".
Wow. I starting to see the future. ❤❤❤
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.
It seems very well built indeed. ...........really professional.
thanks
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.
Great

I have a newer iPad Pro. Overheats under hot sun.
I love Sergi's enthusiasm for the human drone, not sure I'd trust myself in one.😮
@David Charles iannotti, yea, I might want to wait for the 2-seater version myself.
@zenithperigee7442 Good idea. I'm sure one will be coming along too.
This is just insane amazing 🤩🤩🤩 a drone from future 😍
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.
This is a great design. But I really don't see these going public.
I agree because most and I mean most of the people cannot afford it + the noise
@@dem0lishersbrother133 and it takes an entire crew doing god knows what remotely.
Who tf has half a million bucks to spend on this shit
That's what they said when the car came out. Once this thing gets mass produced, it'll be as "cheap" as a small car. And for noise, there are already solutions for that, by for example using different propellers.
@@dem0lishersbrother133 What about the new style of quieter propellers that are being designed right now? Mark Rober showed them off and some other channels have picked up on them too.
Amazing. 👍👍🇮🇩
I love the design...
Beautiful❤

I had a good shit while watching this

Thanks you too
What a great comment 🥹
You just offered no relevant comment to the video. Leave and go home .. don’t return sir .. coming here acting all kind and shit .. nobody asked you to hope for anything mister ! 😂
Amazing congratulations to team Lift.
A job well done 👍
Lift not Lyft !
pay attention
Amazing 👏
very clever hanging the batteries from the props, saves a lot of heavy cable and gets cooling
Yeah ....until you have to charge them on spot ,at the destinațion
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.
Except for the fact that it was designed for each propeller to work. I'm sure if one motor goes out you will have problems getting it to do what you want it to do

@@Leo23XR , bro, yes you are that "link" is called "gravity" & that's whether you're onboard a plane or on the roof of a 40-story building... Under normal circumstances you're actually "safer" on the roof of that building assuming you're not behaving like an idiot, dangling yourself over the edge, than you are in the plane where it can clearly experience a malfunction or intentional failure to crash the plane.
Pretty Amazing!!

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.
Same question.
@@bd7587 Same same question
It's 15 min without any weight and calm weather conditions. With a standard human weight of 180 lbs and a bit of wind, you're probably looking at ~10 min of operation time, if you're lucky.
@Kessel5 thank you. Not worth 495k
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 🧡
What about the flight tine / distance ? Is the drone carring the charger , also ?
