Watch: Blackfly Personal Flying Vehicle Already Has Flown over 10,000 Miles in Testing

FighterSweep Staff No Comments Civilian Aviation, Experimental, News, Photos, Video

Marcus Leng calls his invention “a personal aviation vehicle” — an electric aircraft, so easy to fly you don’t need a pilot’s license. “When you press the thumb stick to climb with this you have absolute full control,” Leng said.

He claims the single-seat aircraft, with eight small but extremely powerful electric motors, can fly itself, like a drone. That’s how it was tested before anybody got on board.

“We first flew 10,000 miles. We did a thousand-plus flights,” Leng said. “Autonomous. And we had a payload of 200 pounds.” – CBS News
