China claims breakthrough with world’s first ducted eVTOL that can lift nearly half a ton

Yes

Mf has at least eight rotors and can lift half a ton, so just assume it’s loud as fuck.

A silent aircraft with rotors enclosed inside its fuselage lifted off in front of an auditorium in downtown Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, during a public display on February 24.

This leaves me with even more questions.
