Thanks, yeah I agree those are probably the two safest ones!

I like the Zeva. But I think it would be safer if the pilot sat upright in the exact middle under a Plexiglass bubble and the craft sat flat on the ground on legs. Also, it should use ducted thrust coming from cleverly disguised vents to look more like a UFO.

Jet packs are safe.

From the Model T to the Bugatti was about 100 years... from now to another 100 years we'll be jumping from one dimension to another.

L?

But not the title. Comments like the above are not found nor needed in videos that ACTUALLY reflect the purported content.

Omg yes

It's a shame the video didn't specify because YES it is supposed to be a copy of the nausicaa Valley of the wind glider.

It is!

姫様！

very good point ... is does bear a resemblance ...

wait until,an idiot crashes thru your roof or window..

Big companies simply can't react or move as quickly as a start up. A lot of companies put a great deal of money into their innovation and design apartments, so they can keep up with the changing world. For example, big bottle producing companies and breweries don't really know how to compete with microbreweries.

Change the year from 1978 to 1949 and your first paragraph pretty much describes me. At age 72, I have been waiting for flying cars all my life. It does seem like the technology is finally starting to get there, and maybe I'll see it become reality in my lifetime, but it won't be me driving (flying) one of them to work. Too late for that! You make a great point about the genesis of new technologies NOT coming from existing big companies already in the business, but let's not forget Studebaker. They were making wagons since the 1800s and were a major force in automobiles until the middle of the 20th century. I guess the lesson there is that even if Toyota or GM doesn't invent the successful commercial flying car, they might very well become competitors in the market for them.

@@leonobles228 in the end of days knowledge will increase, I am right there beside you

It came from us. That guy that had enough belief in himself and drive and determination to take an idea from ones thoughts and manifest it into reality. It's a beautiful thing. I wish more people understood

The inventor said it's based on the "Mehve" glider from Nausicaa so yeah it is and I LOVE IT.

@@alex.thedeadite That ought to be mentioned in any description of the vehicle such as here.

We built the animation for it, yet the real thing is even more impressive - check out their website for some more up to date video

me

@@Oh-ou4lp well aren't you fun because I heard you just wanted one in a contest but they read your comments so they decided never mind and they gave it to me LOL just kidding have a great day

Thanks, welcome to the channel!

I think its that way with a lot of things. I mean building most common planes and jets is cheap enough to make money off, but not too cheap. And safe enough, like why most houses or cars look kind of similar. Just safe enough, and made so the business makes money. The fancy bubble houses and curvy cars of the 1950's concept art is just too expensive to shape and put together the house or car. Plus its not even useful. I dont think the shape of cars or buildings is going to change drastically in the future.

It is also almost an exact copy of Mowe, a personal flying machine used in the feature length anime 'Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind' by the titular character. It is one of Hayao Miyazaki's earliest films. I saw it on display at the Worldcon in Japan in 2007, though at that timne they hadn't yet yet added the jet engine and were flying it as a glider.

It was definitely inspired by Nausicaa. That's why it's "M-02". M stands for mehve.

Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984) .. You're right!

It was, he saw that craft and set out to make it real. There's a big documentary on it.

Good question what happens when it stop during flight?

Me too!!

Right there with you. The functional human life span is a ripoff. Mentally and physically. If we can get past this deadly vax time bomb administration, and border restrictions, we can go to Panama and get stem cell IV infusions that will restore function to our organs, giving us the healthy state of a youthful body. That and other reverse aging science is here. So it's now just a matter of money and politics. Money to afford it. Politics to avoid the early death the gov would prefer you have, in order to avoid paying for your existence. Social security and other social welfare of the people systems are going to fail cuz they rely on a strong work force of the population to remain perpetual. A strong workforce is impossible when the work is all taken to 3rd world countries. No one paying in means no money to pay out. Therefore it's just a matter of good business to put the old unproductive workers down. No reason to keep them on if they aren't actively contributing anymore. Like livestock. The biggest contribution to society we can make now is as fertilizer for Bill Gates vast agriculture land properties. And that is exactly what is going down right now. A virus that targets the old and sick. A vax that targets a controlled percentage of the population at a time. It's like a lottery system. But it's not fair unless everyone plays it. Thus, mandates. The reported 40% jump in deaths of 18 to 64 year old people by the insurance companies is no conspiracy theory. And it happened after the vax, not after the covid. A 10% jump is a once every 200 year probability. In the case of natural disaster. Such as a tsunami or hurricane, etc. Over population isn't about resource availability. It's about financial stability and control. Reset means start over. The super wealthy already have access to the regenerative science and tech. All they need now is a generation of people to be raised without any concept of personal freedom or employee rights. They are currently paying healthy individuals for their sperm and eggs. $10,000 for eggs, $12,000 a year for sperm. Google it. See for yourself. You must meet genetic physical specifications in order to qualify. It sounds like a sci-fi nightmare. That's because it is.

I agree.....I'm not really afraid of dying, but I really hate to miss out on all the wonders that are coming. Unless, of course, we manage to destroy our planet, LOL.

Bro hit up your local air park and get some flight lessons!! You don't regret it!! Learn to fly ! It's less then 10k so the price of an old Honda Civic? And that will include 40 hrs

Just go paramotoring. Anyone can do it.

5.000. 10.000 KM gidecek bedava çalışan motor, yaparım,, belkide daha fazla

It’s working!

ITS WORKING!!!!

Wizard

😂😂😂😂😂

That is how he steers. By leaning. Like the video says, the prototype has no flight controls.

@@danielch6662 Sure, I see that, but if you steer a little too much you're dead.

Patrick, I agree with you on the load being under the slicing devices. Also, with the props above the pilot you could have a quick release of some sort. The in an emergency you could release the device and deploy a parachute, provided you have enough altitude. It just seems like common sense with the propulsion above the pilot/load, you would naturally have a lot more stability. With the computer controller maintaining additional stability it seems like it would be much safer than trying to fight off 8 or 16 propellers after the pilot leans too far in the wrong direction.

Pendulum rocket fallacy

Nope, that makes it unstable. Pendulums work the way you imagine when you have a stable anchor point, but in flight everything is moving, so having the weight lower down actually destabilizes that system.

It's o.k. but I still think the 25 mile range (with 20 % reserve) in the US sucks and makes it not worth the purchase. That's 12.5 miles effective range (8 kWh battery) until you have to turn around and go home. It can charge 80 percent full in 25 minutes but you would have to be able to charge it on the go if you need to go farther then 25 miles. That takes planning your day carefully. At a speed of 60 mph your flying time in between charges is 25 minutes. Not a lot of time. I'd like to see it doubled at least. 200 lbs weight limit.. I wonder how heavy a spare battery would be to carry. Also, I hate the squarish design. It's 13.5 feet long by 13.7 feet wide and you need 36 inches takeoff and landing. It's only a one person craft, I'd want to slim it down a bit. I could live with 6 feet by 4 feet but I'd make it even smaller. I like small cars. My motorcycle is a 150cc scooter and my car is a Mercedes Benz Smart Car, one of the smallest cars legally sold in the US.

I mean if it was mistakin at all it's a ufo unknown flying object

All UFOs are mistaken ID.

But without the inherent safety of a helicopter. Autorotation is important. They're also waaaaaaay less efficient than a coaxial helicopter design.

Helicopters are still a cheaper safer more efficient way to fly compared to these things

If four airbags go off underneath they take a split second to open you could survive a crash land and then

Are you related to Harry?

​@@mcmacshalfilya😂

Fairytales

That would make great sense. A gas engine making the electricity for the electric motors would increase your flying time in a major way.

To much weight, it wouldn't fly

Maybe, Using a high RPM generator/turbine with aluminum coil might work. High RPM generators need less copper/aluminum, Turbines are already light. Someone needs to try it. Also there is augmentation where electric motors are used for takeoff and gas used for cruise.

@@darthmittens5863 there will by two person version, so change one spare seat for gas engine ;) and You have airprius ;)

@@darthmittens5863 How much do batteries weigh?

O você diz é de se conjecturar, e me trouxe a memória a matéria sobre um caminhão da volvo, que só acionava o motor após o motorista fazer o uso do bafômetro incorporado ao mesmo, e o teste feito, foi com um bombom recheado com de licor de cereja. Acredito que para usar este tipo de veículo deveriam ser agregados vários tipos de sistemas de segurança semelhantes, leitura de íris entre outros.

I agree. Alcoholics, potheads, meth heads, and Biden voters should not be licensed to fly any of these things

@@thalarctosarkticos8075 - English Moron, English!!!

Yep , it's all fun until the the batteries die, LOL!

@@waynejones6144 If I'm gonna get off the ground, I really prefer having a device with a glide ratio better than a rock.

@@AArrddeeLHH Amen!

Either : A. This is hilarious! Or, B. The chute is for the entire craft. These chutes are available for many common private aircraft. You can get them for Cesnas, etc.

@@schrodingersgat4344 The distance to the ground is too short. Instant death

@@guff9567 Ballistic Parachute. There is a charge (gas or otherwise) that deploys it. Takes very little time to deploy. It would increase survivability... ...or ,at least, allow for enough of you to survive to facilitate identification.

@@schrodingersgat4344 Utter rubbish.

@@guff9567 The Galaxy GRS can deploy 60m up and bring a gyrocopter or light helicopter down safely. What's rubbish about that? The technology exists. How would something lite the Blackfly ,not be able to use it?

Have you yet investigated what Edwards AFB will permit for air travel as you are describing? I'm confident they have some folks that are quite proficient with their powder actuated pop-guns. If such a commute is acceptable, I suggest looking in to Para-motors.

@@jaylittleton1 Just kidding; Id'e have a snowballs chance hell to even dream of a stunt that silly. You have a good point there.

@@gilligancharliebrown399 They do actually make sense though, in certain circumstances and conditions.

@@jaylittleton1 Well put and thank you. Living in the high desert area, one wishes they could just fly to the nearest...whatever (even work in most circumstances. Fortunately not for me. But everything else?; OMG!). Sure it can be affordable and quiet, but you're miles and miles from anything. Seriously!

I envy you--the terrain and sky out there must be something to look at.

I agree, go ducted. Battery tech also needs to make some strides The automation part should get better though it's slowly coming around.

@@Tech_Planet maybe some dilithium crystals will help, LOL!

Interesting that a few of them came with parachutes. Might be hard to use 50ft off the ground.

You’ve never flown a plane a day your life

@@phallopeonchoobs5290 - ... says the guy living in his parents' basement.

Those things you are "rated" to fly were talked about just like you are doing here. But yet here you are.

@@heathb4319 - If you think I'm going to apologize to you for expressing my opinion, you are mistaken.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s thinking this. They talk about “safety features” on a device that could double as a blender for anyone or anything that gets too close.

Damn .. it's like you watched the video or something

Yes. Often injuries occur as well ejecting. But the alternative is death. Flying will always involve risk, even driving a car involves risk.

well, all the copter designs are theoretically able to autorotate, but i agree with the rest always assume worst case scenario when its your life were talking about

Blackfly has a parachute

Yes, emergency parachute deployment system

Doesn’t mean the military and the rich won’t use them

The battery tech is already there but ofc they won’t allow us peasants to experience it.

When the horseless carriage was being developed and the start of automobiles was coming to fruition...everything was dangerous. They also thought if humans went over fifty mph their bodies would not function properly and their skin would be pulled off of their faces...even though they had experienced wind storm that were more than 50 mph. The unknown is always scary and dangerous...but look at us now. We could be even further along with development and safety aspect if governments around the world were for the people instead of for themselves and big business. As far as your certain tasks comment...there will be specialized versions as with anything...but this will catch on as soon as these few innovators and courageous people do the hard and dangerous stuff and then open the door for us average people to make them ourselves or buy them at a better price point. So yes they are extremely dangerous...to weak minded people with no drive and common sense. The bicycle, the skateboard, the motorcycle, the automobile, the plane...all dangerous if used in a dangerous way. And you have probably been on, in or operated any of those yourself. But you wouldn't have the option if these truly courageous people clearing the path for you were weak and scared. And for every idiot operating one and getting hurt or killed...there are thousands of people that operate them and are just fine. So, please learn to think strong and positive instead of weak and scared. The world will be a better place. Take care and be safe out there. The world is a lot scarier than you think...but not because of the things in this video.

You already have "n" number of other ways to die. Most of them you use on a daily basis.

Depending on the terrain neither are most light planes.

Wherever they are not made under any safety concerns..

@@brianwest6341 no, actually, you have a greater chance of gliding to somewhere you can survive. These other monstrosities can neither glide nor autorotate.

Where can I find footage?

@@debrajorgensen2730 You can literally type "Lilium Jet" into the UKposts search box. It has multiple redundant thrusters and wings that transition from VTOL to very efficient forward flight while maintaining nice pilot/passenger orientation. You'll find they are deep into testing the aircraft and have larger passenger versions planned as well.

Неэффективно. Проще приделать турбину с неподвижным крылом, как у самолёта. И технология давно знакомая и понятная и энергии несравненно меньше ест. И механизм проще, а значит надёжнее.
