In this episode, the Roswell Flight Test Crew talks to John Manning of ElectraFly. The Utah-based company has developed a multirotor aircraft capable of carrying a human passenger. With four electric motors and the gas-powered jet turbine, the aircraft can lift 400 pounds, which can be increased to more than 700 pounds through the addition of four additional motors and propellers – transforming the quadcopter into an X8 configuration. It is intended as a personal flying machine, as well as an experimental platform to see if a multirotor can approach the efficiency and flight time of a fixed-wing aircraft. The company also seeks to fill a niche between jetpacks and the autonomous air taxis currently under development.
