Alexander Zosel, the pilot who flew the original Volocopter in 2016, has unveiled these capabilities last year by taking his hand on the handle broom and giving his team on the ground two inch upward.
Zosel also explained that the process before the take-off was just as effortlessly.
"I received, we have made preliminary controls to what you want maybe 20seconds, and after that, I had already gotten the fire to fly," said.
"I did not wait long, I simply pushed the lever upward and the Volocopter simply suspended upward in a single bound."
With his conception of the canvas of white spider and 18 disks humming softly, it seems that he was pulled straight out of a science fiction book. "The goal is to changethe mobility for a lot of people, not only for fun," said Zosel.
"For transport and to get the work done."
