Yeah, that's safe. Even though you're strapped in a chair, you're still attached to a cheap gym medicine ball. OH NO SNAP, you're strapped into your chair but you fall into the 4,000 spinning blades. Really? Just use fan cages. Think smarter, not harder. Cool decacopter btw.

I don't know if the guy is super brave or just didn't realize that he would have been turned into hamburger if one of the gyros failed and he ended up taking a faceplant into a spinning blade... I think a set of shrouds around the blades or a proper cockpit would have been prudent. LOL Not quite the hovercar of the future, but it's a good start!

It had to be German :)

this design will replace todays heli, the limiting factor of modern heli's top speed is the leading edge of the blade breaking the sound barrier, with smaller diameter blades the top speed will be higher and these will be more stable as well, this is the future
Dave Glover Says:
All it needs now is a paper mache UFO style body.
harrybola25 Says:

ToroKisaDino Says:
I guess you could say that's one helluva copter.
jacob Varley Says:
he doesn't look comfortable AT ALL. Are those LiPos strapped to the support arms near the motors? What, 2 min run time?
Rage4112 Says:
