If you thought you had seen all there was to see in the drone field at CES earlier this month, there’s now a drone that can pick up and fly an entire human.
The drone, named Megacopter, was the work of drone enthusiast Henning Pedersen and students from the University of Oslo in Norway and has now achieved the Guinness World Records title for “heaviest payload lifted by a remote-controlled multi-copter”.
Megacopter, equipped with 48 motors and 13 propellers, can lift up to 134 lbs, not counting its own weight. In order to achieve the title, the drone had to lift the lowest part of the payload 3 feet 3 inches for at least 30 seconds.
As of now, Megacopter is registered to lift up to 330 lbs.
Watch the drone attain Guinness World Record status in the video below.
