“The ‘e-volo’ multicopter is a prototype personal transport vehicle, steerable via joystock and powered by sixteen propellers to hover in the air. A German team including physicist Thomas Senkel, programmer Stephan Wolf, designer Philipp Halisch, and Alexander Zosel, have just completed the first prototype and test flight of the craft, which they imagine for use towards entertainment purposes, aerial photography and inspection, and short-distance travel.”
