A British man built a homemade multicopter and flew it into the air

An inventor from the UK managed to build a super multicopter called The Swarm, which was able to lift himself into the air.

To do this, he used as many as 54 motors and 6 groups of KK2.15 flight controllers to stabilize and coordinate the motion. The propellers used were 18 inches (46cm). The total weight of the design came out to 150 kilograms, the drone can stay in the air for about 10 minutes and lift a weight of 164 kilograms.

The author said that it cost him £6,000 to design the device.

In the video, the creator of the drone managed to rise into the air at 4.5 meters.

Earlier before that, the German company E-Volo had already tried to do something similar:
