Mad Genius Creates A Crazy Drone Flying Machine Using 54 Propellers

Man can’t fly, but with the help of 54 drone propellers and an umbrella to protect the ol’ noggin, man can kind of fly. This mad genius made what he calls, The Swarm, which is essentially a lawn chair strapped to some metal bars and 54 counter-rotation propellers and six grouped control channels with Hobbyking stabilisation that can achieve flight.

It’s a manned super drone! And in these test flights it looks like a crazy-fun ride. Supposedly it can lift over 160kg into the air. I don’t know about that because it totally looks like it’s at the mercy of the wind.
