FPV drones are nice for capturing avalanches, but LIFT Aircraft’s $495,000 USD HEXA personal human drone can be used like a helicopter of sorts. This one passenger eVTOL multicopter amphibious modular aircraft can land on both land and water, thanks to 18 independently controlled propellers as well as 18 electric motors mounted on a motor strut assembly.
With the electric motors mounted on a motor strut assembly resembling a web of six inward-pointing sectors with twelve outer and six inner electrically-powered propellers, the aircraft can be controlled by varying the individual motor speed for each propeller. This allows for the pilot to have excellent visibility, while multiple battery packs ensure it stays in the air safely.

Our top-selling helicopter tour flights last between 12 to 15 minutes, so HEXA’s flight time is a perfect fit for self-piloted, recreational flights. These are like Segway tours, but in the air – with a much better view and much more fun,” said Caitlyn Ephraim, President of Charm Aviation.
