People can't even drive in a single plane of movement.
I am all in for 3D accidents
brilliant way to make a 2d problem a 3d problem. if they make production they should be self-piloting only (exept in emergency mode which automatically contacts 911), especially in US with the change in marijuana laws lol
And the very first person killed by a steam locomotive was in Scotland during the 19th century, and because he was naive as to the speed of the train itself, thought he could time his crossing of the railroad track. He didn't. Improvise Adapt Overcome - or die.

Star Wars tech doesn’t involve air propulsion with special types of fans. It usually seems to involve anti gravity, then some type of rocket fuel propelled jets, then hyperdrive tech.
yeah ...this is a joke.
Lots of moving parts? Lots of potential problems.
Lots of moving parts under stress? Sounds like a maintenance nightmare.
Absolutely digging it as a technology though!
Yeah, "hover" craft will not lift off until there is substantial breakthrough done on the ION wings technology, which significantly reduces moving parts
Aren't there a lot of moving parts in the regular modern vehicles too?
@@MegaDudon yeah. but modern vehicles are not a couple 100 feet in the air.
@@connorowens4955 planes and helicopters are. I'm sorry, I'm not an engineer myself, so for me almost all modern mechanisms seem very complex
@@MegaDudon The difference is that if your car breaks down while you're driving, you pull off to the side of the road and call for a tow truck. If a flying vehicle (plane, helicopter, this thing in the video) breaks down while you're driving, you very likely die. A mid-air collision will also have a much higher fatality rate than ground cars; likely 100%, as no controlled descent would be possible. This is the reason why pilot training and licensing is so much more serious than for cars, and why they're supposed to be so meticulous with their vehicle maintenance and pre-flight checks. The average driver would completely fail.
If flying cars become a thing, they're likely to be driven by highly trained and paid chauffeurs. Pretty much like modern private plane pilots for rich people.
regulators will NEVER allow civilians en masse to pilot aircraft as a primary mode of transport, it would be mayhem
They will be flown autonomously.
Private jets will be replaced by evtols within the next 2 years.
But it won't be us peasants, only the elite will have them. 😊
Much safer than drunk simians driving directly at each other at high rates of speed while drinking and watching phones and movies.
Well like cars and motor bikes one would have to get a license and requires training too ofcourse, and this seems pretty simple to fly so not like a pilots license either... right ??? ✌
Looks brilliant. Of course they will need ballistic parachutes in case something stops turning, just like the developing drone-style personal vehicles. Watching this one with great interest! Thanks for sharing.
' just like the developing drone-style personal vehicles. ' The one of these that actually makes sense is the Lilium Jet. With banks of engines and proper redundancy it could easily survive without a parachute. 6 in the front corners and 12 in the mid/rear, done up as 6 redundant sets this could easily have 2 sets fail and still be made to fly on the remaining 4, maybe even 3 fail and only 3 working to land. Could even land while flying instead of hover with 2 sets working.
Look that one up if you weren't aware already, it is the one 'drone type aircraft' that really makes sense. I'd be tempted to make it just 3/3/6/6 with 3 larger engine groups for general efficiency, and if 1 goes bad you can land, and if 2 go bad you can still land flying forward.
And it's basically a plane except for the VTOL ability, even if all engines fail you should still be able to glide it in, but no doubt it would require speed.
I would take that over this by a factor of 20 times easily.
@@ModelLights Lots of tech just to fly.
@@RemnantDiscipleLazzaro-Rev1217 Odk. It's just a bunch of engines, whether electric or fueled or hybrid. Lots of aircraft have multiple engines and props, rotors, etc.
@@tobiasmyers3505 You a mechanist on any of the things you mentioned?
it looks brilliant because its CGI
There will NEVER be personal vehicles, at least in a city environment. They will be used for those with big properties and mostly military purposes.
Yep could you imagine? It would be carnage. Just look at some of the idiots that drive cars.
@@Travis_22 Oh, I can imagine. Drunken nimrods smashing into each other, buildings, trees, and the occasional dropping down onto pedestrians. That's not even counting the ones pulling "impressive" aerial stunts for social media selfies.
there are personal helicopters and airplanes on private properties already...
in the end it is just a matter of having a pilot's license and follow the air traffic rules.
there will be the ones that are self-driven too (so, not even a pilot's license for these)
@@houdinididiitnanny state ninnies the lot of you.
Those things are not designed to be piloted like planes, but are supposed to be either fully autonomous, or rely heavily on flight assist, that would help pilot avoid collisions.
that does look safe enough for widescale applications.
The problem with spinning wings is that they aren't as efficient as regular fixed wings. So you won't get the speed, or the fuel savings.
good for manoeuvrable drones though
Looks amazing. Can’t wait to see this be developed.
3:27 i love the look these propellers have, its certantly an improvement from classic hellicopter looking blades.
Forget car bombs here's a cruise missile for the everyman.
FPV drones are already in common use right now in Ukraine, just sayin'.
@@KerbalFacile an autonomous flying car could carry substantially more explosives material than an FPV drone and the availability of large numbers of flying cars to steal add a whole new dimension to availability.
@@kalliste23 They're already using drones that can level an entire building.
To be long range Efficient you need wings or lifting body to provide enough lift in conjunction with the propulsion . I don’t see a lot of that but there are a few doing it.
Maybe the length of the body of the plane provides quasi wings?
Yep. Lifting a fuel tank off of the ground takes a lot of energy. These wouls have very limited range.
the best part about this is that the cyclo-rotors look like actual wheels from the side, making them real flying CARS.
Impressive...but price point is the only thing that will make these sell like hot cakes. Most if not all the cool flying tech is beyond the average wallet. This has turned innovation on its head! Maneuverability safety and noise levels should morph to a whole new USABLE level! I want one today!!
120 years ago, cars were too expensive for the average person. Then Ford made the Model T.
@@NexAngelus405 '120 years ago, cars were too expensive for the average person.'
That's a meaningless comparison though. Ground transport is relatively easy. To support your weight in a hover you have to separate the air, and then rest your weight on the bottom half, then it slaps back together. That's energy intensive and noisy, nothing is likely to ever change that, it's part of the required physics to support weight on air.
yh but u gotta think ai has the potential to drive the cost of everything to near zero or zero in the future
@@NexAngelus405 And now we are back to 120 years ago, apparently :D
@@NexAngelus405 apples to oranges...
I think paramotors are the closest we’ll get to economically accessible flying cars any time soon.
I hope we get to live in 5th Element during my lifetime!! That'll be sick!!
Another really cool design. 👍😁
Man: "A safer vehicle, at least externally"
Me: Puts arm in blades to test against said safety standard
At least it’s not your head 😅
Great, now I have to worry about some idiot landing on my house
I could see this on something like a replacement for the little bird. Able to deliver/pick up in tight places where mobility outweights range or efficiency.
Nothing seems more dangerous to me than all the car accidents we see today, but in the air where they can fall on people below or into the side of a building first...then fall on people. With a large battery pack full of electricity.
I think that the propeller blade might change some things, but we won't have private hovercraft
We already do they're called helicopters.
The comments keep saying people won’t be able to fly personal vehicles but they forget that people won’t be flying them AI will .
Bingo
"AI" only "exists" in the realm of science fantasy/fiction and the NewWorldOrder kings/rulers refer to the great myriads of society they have been spending decades stultifying as the actual 'artificial intelligence'. The more dim-witted and dulled-down they make the society, the easier it is to deceive them that something is true, when it's not true. What is called ''AI'' _[a great made up lie by satan]_ by premier swindlers and their victims, is *not no matter how much they claim it is* and it *will never* exist in our God created nature of reality for it was never His plan. Leave it where it was born/gendered.... in the realm of science fantasy fiction. If you actually believe "AI" exists in our God created nature of reality, then you are the actual "AI." Go look up "Luc Julia", the man who invented SIRI, super tech nerd, who makes clear "Artificial Intelligence Does Not Exist".
@@TheAeroInsider wrong.
That's even scarier
That's much worse.
I don't want my neighbors flying over my house
And thankfully, I don't think the government does either
No matter how many times I look at these “flying cars” I always think of safety measures. We already struggle with ground vehicles. Just imagine how many deaths crashing these daily would cause…
You would need a license the same as you do for a car, a motorcycle, a truck and or a bus or helicopter or plane.. It would obviously be a more stringent test to obtain a license the same as obtaining a small plane or helicopter license, do you have either of those? Probably not. And you would possibly need a whole load of training hours before you were granted a license. And if you assume the everyday average Joe or Jane is gonna be allowed to just hop in one of these and pop to Tesco without obtaining a fully trained and tested license you are fooling yourself, it's pure fantasy to believe everyone and anyone has the ability to fly a machine like this. But I'm sure gonna try and get a license if they ever get the ok to sell these openly.
I dunno... those side things look like they could whack someone's arm or head off as well.
Well we could have someone walking in front with a red flag, like thet did in past times.
I mean....I can do that with my car today...
Ok so, Blade Runner Spinners! Make it look like a Blade Runner Spinner and I'm in!!!
Booom baby! My thoughts exactly my dude. Cheers to that. funny cuz my first thoughts were "so that's how blade runner spinners work" and why it's called a spinner.
Very cool looking. Awesome tech if it’s efficient and real.
One of the biggest questions will be whether or not they're affordable.
i believe even if ai technology was to stop making progress as of now the cost of this type of vehicle will drop to near if not absolute zero in the near future 🤤😆😁🦿🎉
This same technology has been used successfully on ships for many years. It definitely has its merits to potentially change air travel ❤
Quite Incredible some of these designs 👌 and feats of engineering ❤❤❤
they lovin that barrel vent flap timing devices.. where it rotates like a 50gal drum that has flaps that open up on time to cause vacuum and pressure effect so spinning the drums it more than just fans spinning faster , each drum has 8 props inside of it
Congrats on getting 100k views! I suggest focusing on cutting edge tech like this ^^
This tech is woefully ineffeicent. That's why it is a novelty.
Amazing! Hopefully it's an efficient thrust per power/energy ratio.
👀
You might as well wait for the scaling up of a charged particle propulsion. Theyve had success with small models so the concept is plausible its just energy requirments are a bit high at the moment. It would be similar to what makes uaps fly.
Maybe an operating theater with scalpels attached ,and ready to go !!
Still not the "Zorglmobile", but getting there 😁👌🏻👏🏼
I think the lynchpin drone is our best bet
Bladerunner Spinners becoming reality.
Personal flying vehicles, whether cyclorotor tech or not, will only be special use cases until there are appropriate regulations and technology in place to manage the airspace traffic flow. Using them in cities would be a disaster without precise control. Driving one out of your garage to go to work downtown probably won't happen for several decades, if then. On the other hand, there could be many commercial uses from forestry to border control, to emergency response where FAA regs are already in place.
The two words you are looking for is "self" and "driving".
@@jvlbme I can imagine bus services or the like with these kind of vehicles. Easily make travel faster and more efficient.
@@madkillerz007 We could have monorails for that, but no one wants to fund it.
By the time the Feds Against Aviation and the EPA get done writing regulations for it, the thing wont get off the ground.
It needs to have an instantly deployable "umbrella type parachute" device that opens up, because it won't glide back down if power fails. Helicopters don't have this problems, as they will glide down for a hard landing when power fails. One horrible accident, and it's early bad publicity that can instantly end the game.
March-Town approved 💪🏾🇱🇨👍🏾
This will never happen because people can't even drive safely on the roads. lol
Stop lolling.
If we were smart about it, you wouldn't need to manually drive. You wouldn't even need to own a vehicle. It'd should be total autonomous. You plug in your location and destination, pay a reasonable fee, and you have your ride at any time of the day. Though I'd understand why people would want to manually drive such a thing, it is not safe to do so unless it's AI assisted.
@@rremnar you need to make distinction between urban travel and journeys to rural and often remote places. Communal transport isn't going to provide for the latter for various reasons ... and those who gave you masks, lockdowns and 15 minute ghettoes wouldn't you to have rural access anyway.
Amazing technology
So amazing we had model aircraft in the 70s with the same tech so it's nothing new and to call it the jetsons is frankly ridiculous.
Rotors moving at hundreds of rpm in an urban environment near pedestrians. No way
I want to see more samples of it flying.
Building them bigger and rrplacing interregional busses and trains would be a true feasible use case...
its a fancy drone. we already have drone cars being made.
I would consider Star Wars tech to be something more like solid state. No moving parts. All directed energy fields, etc. This example is just rearranging the old propeller into a different package. Still depends on air thrust. If private equity is getting involved in ANYTHING I would stay clear of it. I do hope this research continues, though. It does look promising.
I fully agree I think these are going to become the industry standard.
Dunning-Kruger Effect.
@@RemnantDiscipleLazzaro-Rev1217 sounds more like you're speaking about yourself because this company in these cars are designed by aero engineers who know exactly what they're doing and how to achieve what they're planning to achieve. Just like when Elon musk said he was going to build a starship that could launch and land.
I cant imagine the lift power is anywhere near other technologies. Cool concept though.
Looks exiting, thanks for putting this out. I too think these so called “flying cars” with multiple exposed propellers to chop people to shreds are a stupid idea. The one with propellers that might work is Alef, because they’re enclosed.
should we exit?
It's an aircraft, not a car.
01:44 "Plus, with no giant propellers swinging around, users wouldn't have to worry about accidentally taking off the neighbours head when parking it on the driveway." ...You're right! They'd just have to worry about juicing a flock of birds while in flight, or Fido the dog while taking off... Or one of their kids... Fargo style!
Also, any consumer-level personal flight vehicles had better be all operated by a perfect autonomous system, with zero chance of something going wrong with the system or the network itself. Punch in the destination and there's not possibility of in-vehicle occupant control. Zero chance that it's hackable too.
Seriously, I can see this being a tech used for autonomous public transport in the distant future, but not personal transportation.
This is not a propulsion technology first invented for maritime propulsion! According to the official voith book about Voith Schneider Propellers history, It was first invented for exactly this flight application roughly 100 years ago. When Schneider later invented it for maritime propulsion, and asked voith if they were interested, they went ahead to make a good (and costly) diversion to clearly limit the flight application patent to air flight and their own patent for maritime application. The maritime application went along great, the mechanics for flight application were not solveable back then and have not been used in the real world of aviation so far.
That car is flying upside down! Lmao but honestly this is a good start not too efficient. Thinking about it however it does look compatible with ion thrusters. Combined that would make up for some of the inefficiency.
And no one would ever walk again due to the wind and noise outside
Conventional Electrified Aircraft will be able to go 1800 miles by next year. There are many in operation that can already go 500miles. CATL just announced the highest energy density battery yet. The possibilities in battery chemistry seem endless and progress seems exponential. We may not need too radical of a design or propeller, just the battery. Like other EV’s you’re now using 90% of your energy, as opposed to only 30% efficiency with gas/jet fuel, wasting the other 70% in the atmosphere. Megawatt DC charging can be for Semi-Trucks, and Large Planes.
There should be just one question... what powers the craft/motor/engine/fuel?
super cool
if they're louder than cars then I'm not interested. Imagine a world where 10,000 helicopter car hybrids are flying past your house 24/7. And we also need to consider the catostrophic damages of a midair collision.
Very cool !!!
Essentially creating a shredder 😂
Waiting for a drone model.
EXTREMELY STABLE
that's still a propeller just because it looks different doesn't mean its not...its not SiFi.
looks like an upsidedown car. neat
Lilium spent a few years testing this out and they passes for a canard-based jet design for efficiency standards.
Sadly outside of military applications, I can only see this tech becoming useful as an airborne taxi service for traversing large cities faster than waiting on a bus or between cities. Even that isn't likely though because we've seen what the average person does to public transport, they would go bankrupt in just maintenance alone.
That's insane.
I realy like this idea and hope it develops and grows on, it is way better than having rotors and propellers and even conventional helicopters wont be needed anymore because of what can be done with this, and adding a parachute to it too would make it even safer but im betting they will, time to move away from the old and into the new and this looks practical and good to me 👌
Have you ever flown an aircraft?
Interesting tech if it's used by an airline, first responder or other regulated industry with trained and certified pilots, but I don't think it should be available to just anyone for urban use.
I’m all for it. Thin the herd. 🤔
The beginings of Drake Interplanetary, my cutlass black look almost identical ^^
This is so cool
The only way we will see flying cars in an urban environment is if humans are not allowed to control them. It will be something like pre-defined routes or something like that. Bound to happen eventually, but I think it'll take a long while before it becomes common. Like 50 years or more.
So it’s more like a grinder-spreader than chopper-slicer. Much better from the safety point of view 😂
Maybe more like a couple of blenders 😅
Every cynic in this comment section has forgotten helicopters already exist. People have been flying over houses since the fucking 70's, privately owned craft are here. It's not sci-fi, it's not gonna be mad max, it's already happening. Get that in your heads.
How loud will these things be
Propellers aren't rotors. Propellers are primarily designed to generate thrust for forward motion, typically without contributing to lift, except in specific configurations like tilt-wing aircraft and drones. Also propellers have rigid blades and while they may have the ability to adjust their pitch, they do not account for flapping like rotors do with elastics or teetering heads since they don't experience dissymmetry of lift.
video doesnt deal with the most important question: how is the flight capability after you attach 2 nerf miniguns? also what do you do if one of the hamsters in those drums runs slower than the other hamsters? will you fly in circles until that little guy comes to his senses?
This thing will never generate enoght lift to fly, physics is solid, can't be altered by amazing PPT.
I don’t really see how these rotors are less dangerous that traditionally bladed ones… there are drum lawnmowers, you know. Actually, when it comes to lawnmowers, that was the patent… desingned to chop stuff off.
If battery tech improves like it seems like it’s inevitably going to (being much thinner, less weight,faster charging, and higher capacity from things like solid state or carbon & sodium I think batteries?) then these might actually be somewhat feasible in the near future. That’s also what we’ve been thinking for the last 60 years so who knows? 😂
The propellors are still there in disguise!
close but no cigar, I still like it tho
The only way these will work is when self driving tech surpasses human performance or if AI can make flying much simpler than they really are. People don’t understand how hard it is to fly.
SO COOL! 😫
If we have 3d virtual road systems with ai flying the vehicles to navigate this could work quite well. I say ai should be at the wheel because i simple just dont see commercialized air transportation working if people were the ones behind the wheel flying, lets just say there would be a whole lot of accidents.
can you imagine the DEI people flying around ?
Fanwing wants to have a word with these folks
We need a couple more aliens to crash.
Much, much more! I'll take one!🤙🌈🏝️
I think it's 10 to 20 years in the future.
The future of personal flying machines is probably ducted fan with nuclear battery; say two internal fans with multiple intakes and vents, and enough power to fly on one fan. For stability the fans, motors and batteries would in the base of vehicle and the vents above the center of gravity.
Honestly I think the future of aviation, like in atmosphere aviation is hydrogen based. I just don’t see batteries, due to their immense weight, ever making pragmatic sense.
Now regarding space tech, I think the future involves nuclear.
@@TheAeroInsider I agree for chemical batteries. But _nuclear_ batteries may be a coming thing.
Sco go was already a reality, where did you think the ideas came from thin air
They SAY they've done it, but if you look at the actual footage, it just shows the vehicle hovering in place from a couple angles. No motion. I'm skeptical.
There’s still gotta be a way
A way to counter gravity, with some propulsion and steering system. A way to oppose air matter.
What, I don’t know…..
There was a video explaining why such personal aircraft are a nonstarter, except for niche use cases.
All new transport technologies have experienced the same negative response when first being mooted, particularly cars and aircraft. Personal flying vehicles will, in my humble but open-minded opinion, eventually replace motor cars. Let’s not be naysayers; let’s wait and see!
@@ugnbugn No the efficiency of the rotors are fuckin terrible
