Boeing unveiled a drone capable of lifting 225 kg of cargo

In just three months, Boeing engineers built a prototype of an unmanned aerial vehicle with a payload of 500 pounds (slightly more than 225 kilograms).

• What kind of beast?
  A giant drone with 8 propellers running on electricity.In length it is 4.6 meters, in width - 5.5 meters, and in height - 1.2 meters. The whole structure weighs almost 340 kilograms.

• And not only this!
  Last fall, Boeing also bought the company Aurora Flight Science, which developed for DARPA UAVs with vertical take-off and is one of Uber's partners in creating an autonomous aerotax.

The interests of the airline concern other types of flying transport. Last year, Boeing launched a competition for the best jet pack with a prize fund of $ 2 million.
