if Amazon can do it with packages, hospitals can do the same with patients.:)

 
Med crew is going to love that one lol

I'm sure the patient will love it when the data link fails as well. Of course it probably has a GPS back up to automatically fly to the destination when the link fails. Just hope you don't lose satellites. I doubt they get any lithium batt to last that long either.

I like the drone AED application but a drone that cares a patient with only one med crew member? That's crazy.
 
Maybe they can adopt those for use at bars at closing time to get drunks home. That'd be a trip to watch!
 
So, like, Dude! What's the point?

Save on the cost of a helicopter pilot and, ummm.... ummmm.... nothing else that I can see?

That, and I think they're trying to market something that one person could operate. Not just this one, but they could have like 4 of these in their program with some dude in a comm center controlling them with a click of a mouse. With only one med crew member, they'd save money on personnel costs. Not sure how one crew member will effectively be able to provide patient care though.
 
Here we go........

It didn't work delivering pizzas for ****s sake, who keeps coming up with these hair brained ideas? Why don't they start small and see if they can use them to pick fruit or fix roofing tiles.

Dude, are you trying to take jobs away from hard working illegals?

That would make sense. By eliminating the cost and weight of the pilot they could at least partly make up for the extra weight, cost, and inefficiencies of a multi-rotor configuration.
 
I have toured a couple helicopter ambulance facilities including mayo clinic and they all say that over 70% of their flights are premature babies. Wonder how many parents are going to put their most precious thing in the world onto a giant toy with no pilot?
 
Curious - there doesn't seem to be a lot of room for batteries and motors to actually drive those fans. Have engineers actually developed something like this and said the batteries will last xxx hours and the machine will lift xxx pounds, or is this just some entrepreneur/artist that creates a mockup without any real foundation of reality?
 
I've said I before... unmanned stuff will take off (literally) the day you see the entire engineering staff load themselves and their families in one with maybe some bad weather around, to go for a little demo flight.

Until you see that... ain't happening.

This.

The more feasible route would be to apply the autopilot / autonomous/ remote pilot technology to a more conventional helicopter.
 
This appears to be the brain child of someone who spent money to buy education, vs investing time to build experience in the field.

This idea sucks so bad I don't even know where to start.


Let me sum it up as precisely as possible

NOPE.
