http://www.euronews.net/ This strange, spider-like machine is a so-called 'multicopter', a helicopter-like craft that its German developers hope could be used one day as the air taxi or air ambulance of the future.
It is battery-powered and takes off and lands vertically, just like a helicopter. But it has 16 propellors mounted on a rigid frame to power this take-off and a sort of space hopper ball to cushion its landing.

How to make multicopter controler - step by step guide...by quadframe35,414 views
smart, smart thinking. It's innovations like these that makes me keep faith in mankind. It looks a bit unsafe and, for lack of a better word - stubborn in form. But this could lead to a great birth to another string of design ideas, and another... until we have a totally new form of transportation.
