and, remarkably, it doesn t even require a pilot s licence. it s an ultralight vehicle, and therefore you don t need a pilot licence. in uncontrolled airspace in the united states, you re welcome to fly the vehicle without having a pilot licence. the computers are keeping everything stable and you re essentially guiding it. so it s like a magic carpet ride. the company says it takes just 15 minutes to teach a novice how to use the controls. but, really, they say it takes up to two to three hours to learn all the relevant aviation rules. still pretty quick in the grand scheme of things. the vehicle is controlled and monitored via an interface which basically looks like a tablet. 700 feet still seems pretty high for a non pilot to fly independently, but the vehicle has built in safety features to try and make sure flights are fail safe. the idea is that each of the motors operates independent of the other. if something goes wrong in one, it does not affect the other. and the idea there i

so this is the rise recon. in technical terms, it s an ultralight evtol, but to you and me, it s essentially a giant piloted electric drone. now, it s obviously only flying a few feet off the ground behind me, but it is licensed by the faa to fly up to 700 feet. and, remarkably, it doesn t even require a pilot s licence. it s an ultralight vehicle, and therefore you don t need a pilot licence. in uncontrolled airspace in the united states, you re welcome to fly the vehicle without having a pilot licence. the computers are keeping everything stable and you re essentially guiding it. so it s like a magic carpet ride. the company says it takes just 15 minutes to teach a novice how to use the controls. but, really, they say it takes up to two to three hours to learn all the relevant aviation rules. still pretty quick in the grand scheme of things. the vehicle is controlled and monitored via an interface
