    I'm seeing the same error, but the link worked OK for me earlier today.

    Here's the same clip on youtube:

    Being electric it should be very much quieter than the others and I wonder because of the smaller multiple blade configuration if the down wash could be less forceful too.
    Depending on its load capacity and range, this would be ideal to over fly urban areas where noise levels are critical.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    Can be purchased from 2018 on (probably not here).
    Will get it's own flight classification in Germany.
    Looks easier to fly than hobby drones, with single hand control and failsafe features including loss of several motors.
    Good site for info here:

    They will surely let you know in 2018

    Getting it's own Flight classification from the German authorities is a big deal so they are definitely taking this seriously as an alternative form of transport unlike most concept projects.
    This would be the most realistic form of a flying car to date but they are talking about flying taxis.
    Also the safety is huge. You can bump into things and smash up a few props and it still flies and no explosions.
    I am wondering if they could even build the outer ring so that all the props are protected from accidental impact and somewhat elastic.
