They said the old Beech 18 aircraft would cruise at 180 mph. I never saw 180 and I owned 5 of them. C-45 to G model. It might do 180 with both engines near wide open and the nose at a 45 degree down angle.

You don't need a license to fly an ultralight in the USA. Ultralight Aircraft is a class of aircraft classified by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) which regulates aircraft, operators, mechanics, the airspace and everything to do with flying. Since its under the 254 lbs. empty weight limit, it will qualify as an ultralight aircraft in the US, and you won't have to worry about the maximum 5 US Gallons limit with the electric motor. The only issue here is the speed. The Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) that pertains to the top speed limitation for ultralight aircraft is found in Part 103 - Ultralight Vehicles. Specifically, §103.1(b) outlines the maximum speed limitations for ultralights in the United States. According to this regulation, ultralight vehicles are limited to a maximum level flight speed of 55 knots (approximately 63 mph or 102 km/h).

@@lurch789 That's true. I never considered the number of rotary motors. Tandem rotor helicopter aircraft have been around for a long time, and this is just the next version of that. So, as to the technicality of calling it an aircraft, I want to understand where your perspective is from. I'm guessing you're an oldschool pilot. A lot of you think that paramotoring, paragliding, powered hang-gliding trikes, and other similar open-cockpit designed ultralight aircraft are somehow unsafe. I think that risk tolerance comes down to your perspective. I'm a veteran, and I've jumped from planes. I trust a reserve chute to do it's job, and that doesn't take a lot of sense to figure out how to use it. So, from my perspective it seems silly to call it a death trap, like a lot of people do. It's more safe than driving down the interstate in my state tbh.

This is the evolution of technology

I think I will buy one

What are the blades made of? Is this a vehicle that could fly efficiently in a winter environment? Have the blades ever broken or come separated , what are the chances that they could cause injury to the pilot? How much altitude and forward speed are need to properly deploy the parachute?

When they finally do put circular rings around the props they need to have a joint on it like a semi truck side mirror so that if you did bump into something it would just retract back in against the body instead of snapping off

Goes back to building my Radio flyer. Im poor.😅

In the cabin I could put a pond for foam and be a firefighting drone, I think it will be more useful

I need to react to the negative comments. 1. Quadcopters for personal transport is as likely as landing rocket boosters, i.e. it is already a fact. 2. Battery technology is among the fastest developing technologies and typically doubling energy density per 5 years. So if you are not impressed with the range, then just wait a few years. Think about the difference between GM EV1 and a Tesla Model Y. 3. Fossil Fuel will be phased out, regardless of your personal preferences, it is just not sustainable. Just like with smoking, the industry will fight back with propaganda and misleading statements, but in the end they are doomed. A likely strategy, as with tobacco, is a focus shifting to developing countries as developed countries ban fossil fuel. 4. Battery powered aircrafts are already commercial and the business case is expanding as the tech develops, from short haul few passenger crafts to longer haul more passengers planes. The tech will likely not ever replace long haul intercontinental flight jets, but probably 50-70% of todays passenger miles will become electric. 5. Open rotors is of course not a problem, that is how all propeller planes and helicopters operate.

Remember you should always have a reserve time in flying so you only have 15 minutes and lithium batteries at extreme temps lose use fullness time (flight time in this case). And if you are maximum weight and at full power you will have less flight time. All these things are taught in flight school. When we built and sold Ultralights we gave a ground school and training in a two place Ultralight.

@mcnuggatron2129

the 100-200 meters is easy, we can already do that. A bigger cockpit is also easy, can do already do that as well. The only thing we can't easily do is give an electric quadcopter 10 hours flight time.. but we don't need to. We certainly need more than 20 minutes, but a flight time of something like 3 or 4 hours would be adequate for most utilitarian purposes. To get those few hours with current technology is difficult, but it's actually probably possible. You would probably need to basically turn into an airplane once you've taken off, like an osprey, and you'd need to use some sort of combustion engine rather than electric motors. Point is, we aren't 100 years away from useful manned quadcopters, we're there now. Just need a market for it and a lot of money for development. As far as electric version are concerned, solid state batteries will likely be the final push necessary to make all manner of electric aircraft fully feasible, and solid state batteries are slated to enter mainstream production primarily from the big car manufacturers within the next 5 years or so
