Ehang, a Chinese company that makes drones that can carry people, presented its idea in Las Vegas. The quadcopter-style drone can carry one person in a cabin and has eight motors on each side. It can lift up to 661 lbs. Drones capable of carrying people are within reach. Check out the following to find out how they can be used. This concept could make flying easy. It would be an easy way to travel around town or perform a medical procedure.
Volocopter 2X
The new Volocopter 2X drones that carry humans were designed with ease of operation in mind. The joystick controls make it easy for passengers to adjust flight conditions, such as pitch, direction, and glide angle. The aircraft has over 100 CPUs and relies on sensors to maintain its altitude. The full aircraft parachute of the drone will automatically deploy in case of an emergency or crash.
Ehang 184
Ehang, a Chinese manufacturer of manned drones has started testing its new 184 AAV to fulfill human-carrying tasks. The drone is equipped with fail-safe systems and is connected to a low-altitude command center. It has pre-set landing points. In an emergency, the vehicle will automatically take off. Ehang currently has conducted manned flights tests with more than 40 people including a Guangzhou deputy Mayor, technology research-development staff, and potential clients.
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 will have four wings and be able carry up to 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 develops drones that can carry people, payloads, and even humans. Its drones are maneuverable and powered by batteries and solar cells. It plans to test the Odysseus drone this spring in Puerto Rico. The company also intends to use it to market its scientific instruments, such as plant density. As they provide surveillance and communications, military drones are increasingly popular.
Uber Elevate passenger drones
The demand for flying cars is growing as the country's roads become more congested. Uber plans to test fly an electric vertical takeoff and landing plane in Melbourne, Australia, next spring. 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's aerial vehicles emit zero emissions and will launch its service in Melbourne by 2023.
