The 'E-Volo Multicopter' would definitely be a sight to see. People are trying to find more and more creative ways to launch into the air, and this creation is one of the most imaginative thus far. It is essentially a montage of toy helicopters, sixteen to be exact, that have been strategically lashed together to create one big E-Volo Multicopter.
Described as an "innovative, vertically starting, human carrying transportation device that is uncompromisable to its current flight counterparts," by its creators, the E-Volo Multicopter is fully functional. The interesting thing about this plane is that the flyer can lose up to four rotors without experiencing a glitch. Nevertheless, a safety parachute can still come in handy, especially since it won't be shredded by overhead rotors.
