It’s a bird! No, it’s a plane. No, it’s a VOLOCOPTER! …..

What in the world is a volocopter? “The e-volo volocopter is a completely novel, vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) manned aircraft, which cannot be classified in any known category. The fact that it was conceived of as a purely electrically powered aircraft sets it apart from conventional aircraft. Through the use of its many propellers, the volocopter can take off and land vertically like a helicopter. A considerable advantage, apart from the simple construction without complex mechanics, is the redundancy of drives. This enables the safe landing of the volocopter even if some drives fail.”

The volocopter is still being tested for obvious reasons. Inasmuch, a two-seater volocopter is in development. So, don’t be surprised if you see these flying devices within the next ten years.
