The Snowstorm is a [personalized flight drone system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wisk-aero-generation-6-evtol) designed to carry one passenger up in the air to a variety of height distances. The large-scale drone design creatively takes the concept of the handheld robot and super-sized it to be large enough to carry a person into the air.

A team of students from the [National University of Singapore](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firefly-drone) designed the Snowstorm for an engineering assignment based off of the premise of transforming flying cars of the future into a reality of today. The design features a gigantic drone that is still controlled by a remote. Thanks to its large size, the Snowstorm can fit a passenger in the centre of the design with [large propellers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsmall-drone) throughout the upper section. The propellers are designed to spin fast enough to life the weight of the individual and put them up in the air.
