CGI? If so they really spent some time on it. Easier to build the human occupied drone.

According to their website it gets about 15 min of flight on a charge @ 60 mph (kts.?can’t remember)

Weighs 90lbs empty and eight electric motors.

Where does that fit in the LSA spectrum?

I understand that this is a marketing video, but why no video of a takeoff and landing?

BTW, I sent their page to my better half, and said, "on my Christmas list", and she only came back with "Oh my....."........

Seems to be the real one flying. This video has some natural noise as it flys by in spots.

Maybe it uses the Fred Flintstone method of acceleration?

I get it.

Small footprint, urban transport, personal flying vehicle etc to entice the mind. I get excited, too. But ultimately, if they'd used the same motors to run one big rotor, like a helicopter, the endurance would have quadrupled. As long as we're hell-bent on having small co-ax rotors etc, we're gonna suffer greatly in efficiency.

There is no substitute for disc area.
