MEET HEXA
AN ENTIRELY NEW TYPE OF AIRCRAFT THAT ANYONE CAN FLY
DISTRIBUTED
ELECTRIC
PROPULSION
Eighteen independent electric motors and propellers are the only moving parts needed for perfectly stable, controlled flight.
AMPHIBIOUS
Four perimeter floats provide stability while a large central float provides buoyancy for safe water landings.
SIMPLE
TO FLY
A triply redundant autopilot computer with a single, 3-axis joystick is all that is needed to fly. Or tap on the seven inch touchscreen in "Look mom, no hands!" mode.
ULTRALIGHT
With an airframe built entirely of carbon fiber, Hexa weights in only 432lbs. and is compliant with the FAA's Powered Ultralight classification so no pilot's license is required to fly. Don't worry, we'll give you plenty of training!
EXCEPTIONALLY SAFE
Hexa can fly and land safely with up to six motors disabled, so you will likely never need the autonomous ballistic parachute or the whole aircraft airbag system. But it's nice to know they are there.
"LIFT is using technologies that have matured in the drone industry to democratize human flight - a natural progression that will soon provide a clean, exciting and efficient alternative to sitting on congested roads burning fossil fuels."
