  1. yes you ordered a uber?😂😂
  2. people like to do so smart about it, like - as if it's their invention - while there are many people that are working out the very same ideas.

    One thing about safety; consumer grade GPS is NOT save, let alone the influence that big radar systems have in overriding the signals of the entire vehicle.

    Just search for DJI Flyway and you'll see that we've got a long way to go.

    If only he and all the others would be so bright to join forces with each other instead of going to the defence industry . . . that would make so much more sense!

    These university people are smart and some are slightly intellectual. But it doesn't cut it when it comes to make something beneficial for all of us. Most of their inventions say under wraps or are empty statements on a cupboard somewhere in the basement, left to rot forever . . .
  3. Guess it should be a 'Duo-Deca-Copter'?
  4. niet te hoog gaan ! anders auw XD
  5. wow that thing looks sketchy...
  6. How powerful is that ? How many watts per motor?
  7. How could he be the first since ive seen others especially in America do this back in 2010

    BTW people have been trying to develop flying taxis since the 1950s but are considered to dangerous by the FAA
  8. It has a flight time of 4 minutes. Don't think batteries are quite good enough yet.
  9. QUAD, am I missing something here?
  10. aluminium/aluminum
  11. gj
  12. Super!!
  13. ابداع ما اجمل ان تكون التكنلوجيا في خدمة الانسان
  14. what motors did you use?
  15. Wel, ed liest hie spieks Inglisch!
  16. If it has 20 engines, why is it classed as a quadcopter? :) .
  17. WTF? Who in 2015 thinks its usefull to disable the embedfunction? Reuters is afraid other websites will show video's with a Reuters logo so Reuters can make use of free marketing? Seriously?
  18. The US defense department gets all the cool shit while they do nothing good whatseover for this world.
  19. First, this looks stupid for personal flight, but it could be a lawnmower drone?
  20. The things people could do, if only the government's would get out of their way and be the servants they were hired to be!
    But no! they have to go on a psycho pride trip and start thinking like they are kings & such!
    Your governments are holding you down. Have you noticed how they try to turn government into a family business? Have you ever noticed how some get elected, & some stay there for life, & only their children or cousins or buddies can get the gov. jobs of value?
    communist-controlism.
