TECH
Australian company CopterPack has released a new promotional video for its development, which is called an "electric backpack helicopter". The video was specially filmed so as not to reveal the working principle of this device, but it is obvious that it has good potential to become a means of personal transport by air. The true characteristics of this device remain unknown.
There is very little information about this device on the CopterPack website, the developers are trying to keep their kids a secret. It is known that the design uses carbon fiber and the engine system has an automatic balancing function. Apparently, impressively sized propellers with various levels of blades are used here. This is very reminiscent of a set of drones “on a harness”, which together are capable of lifting a person into the sky.
The question immediately arises: what about security? The pilot is securely attached to the backpack, but is there a parachute in case of a fall? It looks like a person is simply suspended from the structure. The backpack's maneuverability and reaction speed, judging by the video, also leave a lot to be desired.
