The acrobatic drone by Drone Champions AG which is promoting the Drone Champions League video game has the power to perform stunts and even carry a human. The entire skeleton of the drone is full sized and is made up of a carbon frame. It withholds six extended arms from the body which each have coaxial rotors placed at their end. Since the drone is meant to be controlled by pilots through a remote control, the central seat present can carry a passenger.
The drone was taken to Vsrar, Croatia, where it underwent a series of extreme tests while being filmed and photographed by the Red Bull team. The drone performed stunts that comprised of rolls and loops, all of which were a treat to the eyes!
The founder of the Drone Champions, Herbert Weirather, sat in the drone for a test run at close to ground left for safety. “We have developed and built the first-ever manned aerobatic drone with the vision to create a brand-new future racing experience and to recruit drone pilots through DCL – The Game,” says Drone Champions founder and CEO, Herbert Weirather. “Everyone should have the opportunity to fly, and DCL – The Game provides a starting point.”
While the technology has already taken flight, it is safe to say there is still some time needed for a secure venture to take place. Check out this video below!
