Although, wanting to know, how's the law work with regards to flight and aircraft management?

Obviously with a 250k price tag, I know there's not going to be millions flying around, but I'd have thought there's over half a million people in this world that can afford this as a new toy or vehicle :helpme

Thanks Ga

lol this looks bad ass

Cool indeed.Looks a bit risky flying that dron

Isn't a drone you can fly in also called a helicopter?

Do you fly it with your cell phone?

I think the correct term is "Whirlygig" HTH

I knew this was coming...battery technology is all thats needed to make these very common.

Oh wow this would be SO kool and awesome to own. The skies would be a mad house though.

EHANG-EHANG184-Overview

I was reading about this yesterday -- this is the manufacturers website.

flying robot taxi maybe?
They need to improve the range and the payload first

Single passenger, 20 minute battery life, $250,000.

back in the 80's they would call you a crash test dummy :2 cents::2 cents:

looks awesome :thumbsup

:disgust Terrible stats for the money

We can only hope that any idiot who blows $250k on that will fly it into high voltage power lines and it will be just like a giant Bug Zapper!

Who will be the first in line to die in this beautiful Chinese made product?

I think, the reason it's not a helicopter is that is has the 4 smaller blades & yes, I think you can program them to land or fly where you want like a drone, unlike a helicopter that is manned.

I know right... stop moaning, it's for the rich and famous :winkwink:

it does, doesn't it :thumbsup

like on the first flight taken into any air space :helpme

interesting site and yes, if they could make this larger, maybe for families, I could imagine this working for business asset. Maybe for a permanent business flight in a guided flight path :thumbsup

can only carry up to 250 pounds so less than 5% of GFY could use it

How far up can you go in 23 min ? Yes I'll remember to take with me an oxygen mask and some warmer clothes... :thumbsup

Space, here I come! :1orglaugh







EDIT: Right I lose lifting power higher up, gottcha.

I suppose this kind of thing would be perfect for taking items to places remote or evacuating people like in the recent volcano & the Everest disasters :2 cents:

wow that looks awesome.

Really awesome!!!

My dad sat in it after the show closed. He said it got the most attention at CES by far.

evacuating people?

just a helicopter for midgets, for $250k :1orglaugh

How much is 220 pounds of Yayo worth nowadays? :upsidedow

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Idea for drug lords - why build tunnels, fly with drones :)
Any issues? :)

EVOLUTION!

an issue will be raised :2 cents:

what kind?

Is this battery powered? If so, problem is still battery capacity.
If Lithium-air batteries take off, we'll see much better than this.

well because you're quite right. OMG, can you imagine how many of these shall be used for illegal movement of drugs and contraband :2 cents:

Yeah including me :pimp

That looks awesome

Didn't Escobar fly coke into the US by small planes?
