Better hope the Safeway is less than 10 minutes away otherwise your eggs and milk will end up all over some field somewhere....."MAYDAY!!! MAYDAY!!! MY BATTERY DIED IN MY DRONE!! I"M CRASHING WITH A DRONE FULL OF GROCERY"S IN FARMER DAN'S FIELD!!!!"Would make a great grocery getter. Land it right on top of Safeway.

I live 15 minutes from work (by road) and weigh 190. Where do I apply for this?
Wait... I also live in Cleveland, Ohio. Does it have heat?

it's similar to a multi prop helicopter except the lift comes from the bottom.. I'm wondering if it will be able to auto rotate should the engine break down. basically the rotors keep spinning on their own with air pressure to help slow the decent (free fall)
also, this is just a prototype right? I am willing to bet the battery life will get better... I just barely fit the weight bill... I can see this having trouble selling in the states... ya know
Can you imagine a sky full of these?
Yup, so instead of me getting mad at the person texting and driving and not paying attention, I now have to worry about people texting and flying and not paying attention. Yay!!!!!
Yes I know it's "autonomous" but it will have to have some way for user control and override. Why?
Because we know computers fail.
All in all nice to see this being worked on though.
12 minutes for me but I think Hopkins would have a fit if I flew directly over the airport. Point to point GPS would have me nearly hitting the new ATC tower.I live 15 minutes from work (by road) and weigh 190. Where do I apply for this?
