RotorX Has Just Developed An Electric Aircraft That Can Be Assembled At Home. The Giant Drone Will Cost Around R$ 420 Thousand.

The RotorX is bringing another novelty for those who love luxury “toys.” It is the model titled Dragon, which according to the manufacturer, resembles a kind of giant drone, but it is extremely safe and very stable, not requiring a pilot’s license. Composing the category of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL), the giant drone will be sold in a way never seen before in this market. The buyer will receive a kit at home with the vehicle disassembled.

The manufacturer of the electric aircraft claims that anyone can pilot the model and promises to offer tutorials and private flight lessons for those who are not willing to risk flying right away.

The giant drone is the result of a partnership between RotorX, well-known for producing 2-seat helicopters, and Advanced Tactics Inc, based in California, which also operates in the aircraft segment.

The flight autonomy time is not exorbitant, considering this segment is still new. Thus, it is 20 minutes in flight, while the maximum speed is 101 km/h. Although the company says the assembly of the RotorX Dragon can be done at home, those who do not feel confident can seek professional support from Advanced Tactics.

The goal is to open more support points in the US and introduce another version of the vehicle with 2 seats aimed at training. The company will sell the first 100 units of the giant drone for US$ 85 thousand, almost R$ 450 thousand in direct conversion.

Shortly after, the price will rise to US$ 99 thousand, about R$ 520 thousand. Deliveries are expected to begin in September 2023. In the end, the model is much more advantageous than investing millions in a real helicopter; now it remains to be seen if this novelty will thrive.

If you have a little more than R$ 4 million, you can buy a hybrid flying motorcycle. The model is named X-Turismo, the first hybrid flying motorcycle produced at scale and belongs to the Japanese company Aerwins, which has been in a kind of pre-sale since last year.

Now, with its presentation at the Detroit Auto Show in September of this year, it can also be purchased in the US. While several manufacturers focus on flying cars, the Japanese have preferred to turn their attention to two-wheeled vehicles.

The manufacturer has reported that it is already developing another model that will be more affordable and compact, potentially costing around US$ 50 thousand, equivalent to R$ 259 thousand in direct conversion.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
