Ehang, a Chinese company that makes drones that can carry people, presented its idea in Las Vegas. This quadcopter-style drone is equipped with a cabin that can hold one person and eight motors on each of its arms. It can transport up to 661lbs. Drones with the ability to carry people are very common. Read on to see how one might be used. This idea could make flying much more enjoyable. It could be used to move around and perform medical procedures.
Volocopter 2X
The new Volocopter 2X drones that carry humans were designed with ease of operation in mind. The simple joystick controls enable passengers to control flight conditions including direction, pitch, and angle. The aircraft is powered by over 100 CPUs, and its altitude is maintained by sensors. In the event of an emergency, the full aircraft parachute will automatically deploy.
Ehang 184
Ehang, a Chinese manufacturer and exporter of manned drones for humans, has begun testing its new AAV 184. The drone is equipped with fail-safe systems and is connected to a low-altitude command center. It has pre-programmed landing points. The vehicle will automatically land if it encounters an emergency. Ehang has so far conducted manned flight tests together with more than 40 people, including the Guangzhou deputy mayor, tech research and development staff and potential customers.
Airbus passenger drones
Airbus announced in 2018 that it was developing a passenger drone called the CityAirbus that could take off vertically and land vertically. The aircraft, which is a four-rotor design will be able to carry four passengers. The aircraft will initially be pilot operated but, once the technology is better, it will become fully autonomous. Airbus believes that the CityAirbus will become fully operational in 2023.
Aurora Flight Sciences
Aurora Flight Sciences has developed drones capable of carrying people and payloads. These drones are extremely maneuverable and can be powered by solar panels and batteries. The company will test its Odysseus drone at Puerto Rico in spring and hopes to sell it as a platform to develop scientific instruments like vegetation density. Military drones are becoming increasingly popular, as they can provide surveillance and communications.
Uber Elevate passenger drones
As roads become more jammed, the demand for flying cars has grown. Uber will launch an electric vertical takeoff-and landing aircraft test flight in Melbourne, Australia next year. The company plans to begin operations there first, and is working with local and federal policymakers to develop environmentally friendly and safe aerial vehicles to extend the service range of existing transportation options. Uber intends to launch its service by 2023 in Melbourne using drones that emit zero carbon dioxide.
