Check out this bad boy! A British inventor built this flying machine using 54 counter-rotation propellers linked in six grouped control channels

With a take off weight of about 326 pounds, the machine has an estimated endurance of 10 minutes.

“Just a bit of fun for my self, never intended for making a significant journey or flying much above head height,” the inventor states.

Cost of the flying contraption? About $9,200.
