Onboard Tim's BlackFly

Описание: Tim let me put a couple of cameras on his Pivotal BlackFly ultralight aircraft to capture a little of what it is like to fly it. He did at least 10 flights that day, each 2-3 times around the pattern, staying within view of visitors on the ground. This video was shortened and combined inside and outside shots from different flights. See if you can spot the differences! Please forgive the shaky winglet camera footage.

The aircraft can fly much farther, faster and longer than what you see here. Unlike other eVTOL aircraft the BlackFly is a legal Part 103 Ultralight in the US and it cruises using lift from its two wings and has ailerons as part of the control system for bank and some pitch with independent computer-controlled prop speeds managing yaw. Watch for all the gliders on the ground nearby as Tim flies around the pattern over the ultralight field at Homestead General Airport. I think it is a brilliant design!
