learned a lot from this test! we'll keep crashing it until it's perfect vertical takeoff and hover test went great until a sensor glitch drifted us toward a pillar cut power in mid-air and took a hard landing

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt This thing looks like the Green Goblin’s glider I want to ride one

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt haha soon!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @FanosSt One step closer

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @FanosSt it's a multi step process!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Crash mat wouldn't hurt....hell, even a yoga mat would help.

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt good idea!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt when podracers boys? lol 👏keep up the good work

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt coming right up!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Fly that over something soft like grass or mattresses

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt mattress is a great idea

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt nice stuff! but maybe you should put a mattress down so it doesn't explode on landing

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt amazing idea actually!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt billy wants a net

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt billy was going on an unexpected adventure

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt rapid unscheduled disassembly

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt exactly haha!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Awesome progress! So cool to watch that thing come up to a hover.

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt now we’re just missing the landing

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Any crash you can walk away from is called a landing. I think I could have walked away from that.

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt hahaha

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt This is the kind of testing that actually builds robustness. Finding the failure modes early — especially around sensing and recovery — is often more valuable than a perfectly clean demo.

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Should have nearby to catch it.

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt @DMapouyat next time ;)

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Actually, attaching a tether line to it and have someone belay the cord as it flies to prevent destruction if it cuts out or goes awry.

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt this is some Norman Osborn shit 😭😭 Genuinely curious tho, how u guys actually find what went wrong and where did it all start?!

@JofcoTero @DMapouyat @FanosSt aggresive data collection

@JofcoTero @DMapouyat @FanosSt the only way!

@iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt 🚀🚀🚀

@iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt ✨

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt dammit thats the thing in the terminator

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt I'm so happy for you, do you need t- shirts?

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Why not fly it over a padding area?

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Go join @elonmusk money! 😁

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Towards the skies 🚀

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt This looks sick

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt My guys, the drop! 😭

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt no pain no gain!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Man! Really cool! Use a safety net, that crash had me grind my teeth!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt geeg

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt That crash was like 10k

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt That’s so cool!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt seems quiet

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Podracing now 👀

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt I have faith in your ability to persevere. It doesn't look airworthy tho. It looks like a mess.

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt cutting power the instant it drifted toward the pillar is the right instinct. a hard landing on the couch side of the room beats the alternative

Hey independent how funny it is to make a funny drone, what’s your use case? What is the planes range of that thing? What is the planed payload? Did you ever calculate how much you will need to have something viable. You try exactly the same thing just in a different form what Lilium tried. As info they are out of Business now. In our space, you cannot build a company up on dreams. Sorry to give you that reality check.

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt So its an electric jet?

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Sick!

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt So sick

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Where is the vectoring

@JofcoTero @iain_jo @DMapouyat @FanosSt Fail forward! (Or fail vertically in your case)
