Sante Sottile Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 From our new exclusive partner, SimPunk soon comes their debut Lift Aircraft Hexa - VTOL Drone for Microsoft Flight Simulator! Hexa is an incredible technology concentrate! Here are some details at a glance: Distributed Electric Propulsion Hexa features eighteen independent electric motors and corresponding propellers. These are the only moving components needed for perfectly stable and controlled flight. Amphibious Hexa can land on both land and water. It has six perimeter floats for buoyancy and stability, along with a fifth central float filled with energy-absorbing foam for additional buoyancy and protection during challenging landings. Easy to Fly A 3-axis joystick is all that's required to fly. Automatic take-off and landing procedures are available. Ultralight Hexa's entire structure is made of carbon fiber. The total weight is only 432 pounds (approximately 196 kg). It complies with the FAA Powered Ultralight classification, so no pilot license is required to fly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusterman Posted Thursday at 05:16 AM Share Posted Thursday at 05:16 AM Interesting, but not a drone. Read Part 103, is a piloted aircraft as specified by Lift's website, where it is defined as an aircraft by the pilot flying. Aircraft based on drone technology.
