- bigiain 6y agoThese days delivering that sort of payload with a hexacopter is only a "stupidly expensive hobby grade" project. (Though I'm not aware of any homebuilt multi rotors up in the 485lb plus a ~170lb pilot range. Yet.)
- imtringued 6y agoThese days? Car sized hexacopters have been vaporware for several decades.
- bigiain 6y agoPerson carrying multicopters are common enough on YouTube videos (at least some of which probably aren’t fraudulent). Give me $30k, and I’ll build you a multicopter capable of delivering a 500lb payload 1km away made mostly out of hobby parts. It’s no longer rocket science.
