  • 3 million dollar scooter, HD 1080p camera to go along with it.

  • notice that you never see it fly above 20 feet, that's because if the engine stops you DIE, has no autorotation. They have been conning money from folks for over 10 years with the waste of time, just like the skycar Con Con Con!

  • @seanherbert1 That's a good point. Thank you.

  • Camera i dont give a shit im happy they concentrated on the design and application and lived to tell their tale!regards peter

  • did you film with your shoes? xD

  • Comment removed

  • can it land on water? those look like floats

  • somehow i got from how to pick a lock to this xD

  • experimental helicopter- $300,000. Camera- $100

  • Wasted $0 dollars on the camera huh? Is it something you put together out of scrap as well. I don't think I've seen any worse camera footage than this here.

  • it would be better without propellers xD

  • The people that made this video are the same people making blurry Bigfoot videos! Terrible lack of resolution LOL:)

  • Ten million dollars spent on research and development to make this flying contraption yet they cannot afford a high def $600 video camera lol

  • @MatrixFactoryGuy I know right?!

  • did you record this with your calculator?

  • oohhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Ok.. imagine mid air you need to bail out? you're pretty much fucked.. choppy chop

  • @PewTube09 you can't bail out of most helicopters

  • @AlpynePhyre You can bail from any helicopter.

  • @PewTube09 well YES, but it's not like this helicopter is much more likely to chop you to bits than another... Although i suppose the rotor disks are closer to you than in most others. Not that that makes much of a difference.

  • Half of you Dim wits wouldnt know which way up to hold a spanner.. lets see your Helicopter?

  • @odwind Mmm spanners are multi-directional. One end is open one end is closed. For most it is just two ways of manipulating the same sized nut. Your point=invalid.

  • Half of you Dim wits wouldnt know which way to hold a spanner.. lets see your Helicopter?

  • OH! "airscooter".. Sure just looks like a Coaxial helicopter with pontoons to me.

  • filmed using a beer goggle lense.

  • You would think people would shoot video with something other than a cheap-ass cell-phone if they want their video to be taken seriously . . .

    Whatever.

  • This is very very impressive.

  • I hope it doesn't have an eject button

  • Having flown single rotor and coaxial rotor (dual rotors spinning in opposite directions) model helicopters, I reckon this type of helicopter may be the best solution to one man flight. Very stable.

  • beautiful. very well built by the looks. thankyou for sharing!

  • Hehehe, video flamewars!

  • It'd be great to see it get more than 5 feet off of the ground. Cool little chopper! I need one for my morning commute!

  • is this cell phone footage? sheesh!

  • Now that's pretty cool! I'd love to burn around in that thing.

  • In holland we call it a "helicopter"

    It's small, one person-fit, but it still looks to me like a helicopter :-p

  • lol its the flying fuck

  • NOW IN HD!!!

  • looks like a 1.3 mp camera. if filming something like this which is pretty cool use a decent camera for fuck sake

  • @dhudson369 Technically 1.3 MP is a very good camera. In fact that is quite a bit better that 720P HD.

    Marketing terms these days have got so confused people don't know what's what :/

  • with all due respect you don't know what you are talking about, not trying to be mean, just go watch a 720hd video instead of talking about things that you don't know anything about. 1.3 to 720.0 do the math. it's not even of one percent of the quality.

  • @teampullmyfinger unless this video quality really looks good to you.

  • @teampullmyfinger

    "1.3 to 720.0 do the math. it's not even of one percent of the quality" :/ this is the state of physics education these days :(

    Cool sky diving vids, how much is it per dive? How many dives do you have to do before you can jump solo?

  • @CmdrTobs thanks.i jump free, 25.00 if you have your own equipment and license. i would suggest a tandem first to see if it's for you. you could be soloed if you pass all the levels. of AFF (accelerated free fall) you will be landing solo right away. the instructors will let you go @ about 5000 ft. Then about 10 of those then you can go solo until you get your A license 25 jumps total. to be able to jump with others after you pass the written test. I have 4100.

  • @CmdrTobs WHAT WHAT DO YOU EVEN OWN A HD CAMERA PEOPLE THESE DAYS MAN 1.3MP and a 720 HD umm let me think. ARE YOU REALY THAT DUMB

  • @dhudson369 "umm let me think" - If only you could think.

    720P x 1280= 921600P = 0.92MP

    0.92 < 1.3MP

  • @CmdrTobs really go back to school so your telling me my 15MP camera will take better pics on 1.3 meg than 15 meg and on 720p although i can also do 1080p your maths really needs some attention

  • @dhudson369 I was at first going to answer your post and thus educate you, but just looking at the rudeness and hostility in the substance of what you wrote and the proud ignorance on display. I doubt you could possibly understand.

    - A post-grad Physicist.

  • @CmdrTobs keep believing yourself coz know one else does by the looks of the comments

    -GET REAL-

  • @dhudson369 I never knew mathematical fact was a matter of public opinion.....ha.

  • @CmdrTobs i think your missing a few point zeros off your facts lad

  • if i bought one it would be wrecked in two days

  • This guy is so fast he blurrs the picture!

  • Very very interesting.

    After seeing one of these in person I was sincerely interested in possibly buying one, until I learned that the Airscooter II is incapable of AUTOROTATION. That's what stopped me dead in my tracks. I can now only imagine how many people will die flying this thing when there's an engine failure. If a helicopter can't autorotate, it's not a helicopter.... it's a brick death trap

  • @telekokopelli ....is AUTOROTATION an issue for civilian copters?--some military guys seemed to say

    that it's only military: such as when 1 of blade-rotors-or-engines is knocked out by enemy fire.

    BUT in civilian uses, why is this an issue?..

    A dual-coaxial-rotor system is vulnerable to losing-1-rotor but so is standard helicopter design---SO it's deadly for either type of helicopter---thus why would coaxial-rotor copters be less safe in 99percent of daily use?

  • @robelicit ...some military guys seem to think it's only military? First of all I might suggest that you do a little research on the physics and dynamics of helicopter flight just so that you have a better understanding about WHY auto-rotation is such a crucial capability for ANY helicopter. It's irrelevant wether it's a UNIAXIAL or COAXIAL rotor design, or what type of duty helicopter it is... civilian or military. If it can't autorotate during a power-failure it'll fall like a death brick.

  • @telekokopelli...YES...i had a hard time clarifying--not easy to express in short-uTube-comment-format. OK, auto-rotation is equally huge-issue in all helicopter types.

    SO would coaxial-rotor copters be less safe in all other issues?

    Coaxial producers argue that it solves flying-difficulties that tend to plague amateur & civilian pilots: overall difficult nature of helicopter flying compared to fixed wing.

    Example: easy nature of flying Cessna's when amateurs begin flying classes & so on.

  • @robelicit .... Are you a pilot Robelicit? I don't quite understand what you're trying to get at. The coaxial design solves the problem for the need of an anti-torque rotor, and it significantly reduces the effects associated with dissymmetry of lift and negates any roll that would usually occur during a retreating blade stall in a uniaxial rotor design. Personally, I don't understand why all helos aren't coaxial. Most probably because of the complexity and cost of the design.

  • @telekokopelli ....aha,, thanx alot. I'm not a pilot BUT always

    wanted to & still want to, which is why i tried to read & keep

    up w/ all the coaxial designs in the news.

    SO i'm very glad to see ur

    comment >>

    "Personally, I don't understand why all helos aren't coaxial<<...yeah it seems that many pilots & manufacturers

    are trying to get these points across.. what do u

    think about this manufacturer:

  • coaxhelicopters d ot c om (youTube won't allow links in these comment-boxes, hence my odd spelling of the link)

  • @robelicit .. Thanks for the link mate. . . . now THAT's a helicopter I'd invest in.

  • made a helicopter of a scooter? Well if that is a stock scooter engine its cool.

  • yo i love all these heath robinson gadgets but you mad inventors need to work on the getting the decibells down as one day these will be the mode of transport for most people as the roads are too full now and all the people being critical what did you ever build bet even leonardo da vinci had his critics when he drew plans for a helicopter 500 yrs ago think on people

  • Aircooter my FOOT! That's a small-sized Helicopter!

  • a ka 10 Russian-made

  • I got one just like this, at Sears, in the garden department!

  • Absolutely lame. Germans in WW2 developed similar "scooter" which was the predecessor of a helicopter. And the purpose for these Germany made air scooters was to take off from sub-marines and scout the area. Later on it was used on places in difficult landing opportunity. So yes this today's "Air scooter" technology is "Stunning"...

  • how strong engine is there? how many HP, RPM?

  • oh my lord.

    the quality of this video is depressing.

  • they sell those at Big Lots back in the corner of the store next to the bags of green army men.

  • Its not even advanced technology , its just a piece of junk that would barely compete with a gyrocopter, you bug eyed wasters!

  • pretty cooool but not very fafe :-(

  • this is the best flying machine so far, lands on water too, coaxial was envisioned by russian enginners back in 1700's , then Nikolai Kamov made it real, then japanese copied it as well, they have made similar products, but his one looks safer and less noisy

  • bad quality video

  • Is this a Ground-effect vehicle ?

  • great but it would be great if there was a little more pixels per frame

  • contra rotating discs can auto rotate as well as single disc helicopters, and i feel they are actually safer, as you do not get the pronounced gyroscopic action that you would get with a single disc/tail rotor helicopter. If you have a tail rotor failure in a single disc helicopter, you can stop gyroscopic rotation, if your airspeed is above around 70 knots. Also, if you look from the rear of some helicopters, the fuselage, is actually not symmetrical it is flatter on one side, like an airfoil

  • damn hsd got owned!!

  • to all you gumboids on here, im a helicopter engineer, and this machine is actually quite sophisticated. Give the inventors credit. As for the qual of video, yes it could be better, but instead of mouthing off about it, why dont some of you with such high tech good cameras, offer to go and make a good vid of it!

  • Because I live on the other side of the planet. I totally would otherwise though.

    Since you're a Helicopter engineer : Question : wouldn't a decent up or down draft make this helicopter have a very bad day?

  • hsd?...contra rotating rotor system actually very stable indeed. Like i said, quite a sophisticated little helicopter. 10 out of 10 to the guys who made it

  • Oh I don't doubt it. I'm just speaking from flying RC Choppers with contra rotors, they are stable as hell until they hit an up/down draft, then it's all over the place. Maybe it's different with full scale choppers. Don't get me wrong, I'm well impressed with these guys. Did you know they make an RC version of their chopper?

  • i didnt ..no! I would love one myself! I have to make do with flying around in Lynx!

  • @Nicoladrag it's not a helo it's a gyrodene and they've had these since the late 40,s

    sophisticated my ass 5 grand and a G,A,L and your good to go.

  • @Nicoladrag Some sense of humor would have been nice. The machine sure is impressive but the vid quality really is ridiculous. It's just funny, and there's no need to take offence.

  • ouch my eyes

  • Did you puposely put this to pixalate, or does your camera suck THAT much?

  • this aint nothing special. its just a minature version helicopter >_>

  • try posting a quality vid so a person can see what is being offered.

  • Video quality suck donkey ass!

  • Did you shoot this vid with an old betamax camera??

  • DANGER DANGER thats some crazy shite

  • why

  • atleast he is flying right lol

  • what a cooky contraption

  • those blades could really fuck someone up!!!!

  • That's what I was thinking. Lousy video quality.

  • where did you get the camera? out of a cereal box?

  • @panamic855 No, he got it from a happy meal.

  • @panamic855 your comments is priceless !!!!

  • @panamic855 I guess he spent all his money on building that air scooter, that then he had to film it with his cellphone LOL

  • @panamic855 i have a 10 camera that shoots better vid. obviously a 1990's cell phone vid

  • @teampullmyfinger 1990's phones had cameras 0_o ? You must be from south Koera or something. Btw that pwns if true.

  • @CmdrTobs At least I know how to spell South Korea Einstein, Koera? LOL!

  • i bet thats fun!!! i wanna try !!!

  • That looks dangerous as shit

  • That's the reason why it's painted in red !

  • LOL

  • It's not a fake. You can find other videos of this helicopter if you look.  Or just Google for it. BTW very similar heli was made in 1947. It was Kamov KA-8.

  • fake!

  • Haaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I love it when someone calls fake, always cracks me up, good luck with the rest of your life.

  • Was this filmed or drawn really quickly? Some of the worst video I've seen yet.

  • smartflyerbrushless is an idiot. Coaxial helicopters are geared to where the blades could not smash together. Unless you take the middle stabilizer gear out.

  • If this video wasn't so fubared, it might actually be informative and entertaining.

  • you humans funny

  • and what are you, not human?

  • I am light years away from you earthlings

  • OR you're just too nerd.

  • LoL! and fuck you ppl who give the treeman thumbs down ! TREES ROCKS!

    hehehhee

  • thanks dude lol

  • yeh, right you are the TREE man so you are like "light years" back. LOL

  • yeah i'm in the back...lol

  • Yes, this is going to gain you friends.

  • i'm sure you have a bunch.... lmao

  • This is helicopter not scooter....

  • thus the name "air"scooter.

  • i'll get one next week.

  • thas insane!!!!!!!!

  • they're like $10,000

  • is that ever going to come to market at a affordable price

  • HEY i give you 4 because atleast your better than that retard Moller

  • You use a phone to take this video ? It's almost UFO quality.

  • Unstable,difficult to fly, too long in gestation and too expensive.

  • needs to be way safer and faster if it will ever be used by ppl. Check out Mad Hatter Productions for a short film on called Pencil

  • cool chopper. why do people whine about everything on youtube? (like picture quality)

  • Then don't click on it anymore! you have to choice to stop watching it smart one!

  • MR. Richard-head RotaryPower2010 thank you for illuminating me with your knowledge, now you can finally do something useful & go jump off a cliff! I hope others got the point: there's so much content on YT that it's a shame to post interesting vids with no quality, + it's a time-waster. See: /watch?v=LlO0RTCXUpE one can enjoy the airscooter in all its glory! So why post a low quality vid? Sir if you have nothing better to do than pick a fight go watch all low quality vids on YT!

  • lol, very well said! :-)

  • maybe he is new. Al least he is following his dreams. You guys have probable never flown in your life. But yes i agree that it would be great if it were in focus better. He bud do us a new video!

  • holy shit that is awesome.actaully the games make them build that shit xD

    keep on the good work

  • its just a very dangerous helicopter thats all!

  • haha yeah catch me now if you can cops yeeaahh woohoo im above u and u cant do anything yea hahaha........... oh wait is that a gun oh shit nooo nooo arggghhh fucking trees OWW dat bullet hit ma fuking leg u cunt oww arrgggHHHH BOOOOOOOMMMMM (basically what would happen to me if i got this for christmas)

  • it goes 10,000 feet above sea level

  • 40 mile range

  • What the fuck? Is that as high as it goes?

  • would be nice if it was in focus.

  • yeah put up a better video for cripes sake. Cool deal...I already am saving for one. Oh yeah about the Obama crack...the only people who wouldn't want you to have one of these things is the Republicans because they regulate your life in all the bad ways...not the democrats.

  • Some day, the Border Patrol will have these things, but President Obamanation or President McAmnesty won't let them use them, because catching illegal aliens would be "racist".

  • What's up with people and these 1980's and 1990's quality videos? What is the resolution on this video? 50 x 50 pixels? Yikes.

  • its called a "cell phone"

  • Something tells me that might not be a good place to fly that - with all the trees etc.....

  • I want one of those, lol

  • What happened to the first one?

  • What? Airscooter is evolving!

    -Congratulations!-

    Your Airscooter evolved into Airscooter II!

  • stupid marketing

  • lol noone knows =\

  • flying pixels

  • omg that is so dumb , fucking noob

  • how is this dumb 'mesk-fuck'? please elaborate on exactly why this is "dumb"!

  • Man, that has more compression artifacts than a fifth-generation JPEG.  Do you have any remotely clear footage?

  • youre nerd-talk is such a turn-on

  • and yours is such a turn off

  • sorry i couldn't turn you on

  • um once more in english?

  • booring

  • Cheese pie anyone?

  • mmmm pie

  • this video seems really cool - if only you could actually fucking see it...

  • I like pie

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm pie lol weeble and bob

  • i like cheese

  • thats mega cwll xP

  • Hey, that's the way I want to leave this world! Dang, I have to practice for a couple of years first thing in the morning. About 4:30 A.M. should do, that will fix the morons with the loud speakers in their cars.
