They are now recruiting for people to remotely fly the massive brake horsepower craft from a pool of people playing Drone Champions League - The Game. Initial testing saw the drone fly around Vrsar in Coratia and was described by the company as a 'historic maiden flight milestone' towards a racing tournament.
Weirather sat in the single-seat machine as it was piloted remotely by former Drone Champions League contender and multi-discipline champion Mirko Cesena. The Big Drone can fly up to 87 miles per hours using 12 motors and propellers producing brake horsepower. It can carry up to lbs at take off. It will be the base of a 'brand-new future racing experience' and the Drone Racing League are on the hunt for pilots to ride inside the looping craft.
Blurring the lines between virtual and reality, the Drone Champions League was created in to bring together the best pilots of small racing drones in the world. The smaller drones can reach speeds of up to 99 miles per hour in head-to-head battles and pilots are recruited from players of drone computer games. They hold Drone Grand Prix races across the world, but wanted to find a way to take it up a notch - and make the whole thing bigger.
Weirather said people kept complaining it was difficult to follow the action with the small drones - so they made them bigger, but people still complained.
During the process of finding the right size, they eventually made a craft big enough to take a human pilot on board - that's how the 'Big Drone' was born. The craft is able to make loops, rolls and fast turns which will all form part of the new tournament when it launches.
During the test the drone was even flown over water, as seen here, and will be used in head to head races with a remote pilot and on board passenger.
Weirather, pictured, said they were on the hunt for pilots to work with the Drone Champions League and would be recruiting through a computer game available on consoles. The Big Drone has been months in development but in early February they were able to take it to Vrsar for outdoor testing - after initial indoor flights in Germany. Members of Flite Test were at the initial flight - they produce content on YouTube and other platforms to serve the RC community.
To see them now aspire to actually fly a manned multi-rotor is absolutely incredible. President Donald Trump signed a directive in to establish the 'innovation zones' that allow exemptions to some drone regulations, such as flying over people, nighttime flights and flights where the aircraft can't be seen by the operator.
States, communities and tribes selected to participate would devise their own trial programs in partnership with government and industry drone users. Ms Chao, who called the rapidly developing drone industry the biggest development since the jet age, said about applications were received. North Dakota lieutenant governor Brent Sanford said the program will spur more commercial investment and 'allow us to explore new uses for unmanned aircraft.
He envisioned drones helping with oil field, flood and weather monitoring, and 'finding missing persons. The unmanned aircraft industry has pushed for relaxed restrictions, and the Trump administration has said current regulations have limited drone use, forcing companies to test overseas.
Steven Bradbury, a lawyer for the federal Transportation Department, said drones have caused some 'apprehension' with the public but one of the initiative's biggest goals will be increased 'community awareness and acceptance' of unmanned aircraft. Mr Bradbury said there is no direct federal funding for the test program. The views expressed in the contents above are those of our users and do not necessarily reflect the views of MailOnline.
