One of those motors go out and you are dead. 🤞

*2+ of those motors.

I think octocopters like that can often handle 1 motor failure. The one above/below it will just have to spin a bit faster.

Likely loads of other single points of failure though.

Sure feels like a lot of confidence to put in a drone (your life).

[–] PagPag@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Imagine how helicopter pilots feel.

I predict flying kites will come back into fashion.

I still have one in storage from about 30 years ago. Big happy sun face and about a 8 foot tail. My wife things I'm nuts for keeping it.

Decal says "Florida Polytechnic University" which appears to be an exclusively STEM school. I'd bet real money that this is a robotics club project or something.

This just makes me think of FPV drone races where the g-forces would liquify a passenger.
