Volocopter VC200 Performs First Manned Flight
I don't know a lot about the long-term plans for this vehicle, but the implication seems to be that it is working on filling the highly autonomous personal transportation niche. If so, that would explain the odd multi-rotor configuration (a nod to redundancy) and the unusual control inputs (an effort to be intuitive for a "non-pilot" pilot). Have to keep an eye on this one.
