SALT LAKE CITY — You won't be flying very high with this futuristic invention, but rather the idea is to get you over rooftops and create more of a straight line to work.
"This particular machine has a continuous strand carbo-fiber," Manning said. "Not very long ago this wasn't a reality, so it's an exciting time to be alive.""And as a kid, I just always dreamed about flying airplanes, I never wanted to do anything else," Manning said. As co-founder of Electrafly, Manning and his team design custom drones like this one, made for deliveries but their dream is to use that technology to make flying more accessible.
"We have a small jet engine down here that allows us to offset the lifting requirement of the batteries," Manning said.
