Headline: Monaco Firm Builds eVTOL Craft That Can Be Flown With 10 Minutes Training

Caption: **RAW VIDEO** Monaco firm McClic has successfully test-flown its MC One personal eVTOL, a craft that could be flown with just 10 minutes' training. The ease of flying is due to a drone-style flight control system that takes care of difficult skills like balancing, staying in one place, and adjusting to the wind. The MC One weighs around 160 kg (353 lb), while a full battery charge gets you somewhere between 12-15 minutes in the air. Its top speed is 80 km/h (50 mph). It has eight carbon propellers and a mini roll bar behind the pilot's head. Despite the ease of use, it’s difficult to get your hands on as it’s priced at €140,000 (US$150,000). Orders have already been placed by customers and deliveries will start next year. A demonstration flight is planned from Monaco’s heliport this September.
