The TechHaus Volantis is an American electric-powered hover vehicle promoted by pop star Lady Gaga as a "flying dress". ==Design and development== Volantis is a remote-piloted hover vehicle capable of carrying a single passenger. It was designed by the UK based design agency Studio XO and constructed by TechHaus, the Haus of Gaga's technology branch, over a period of two years. Volantis features a central column to which the passenger is clamped by a safety harness, in turn covered by a white plastic "dress". The column also houses the batteries and other equipment. Six lifting fan units are mounted on booms in a hexagonal formation radiating from the top of the column, giving the device the ability to hover three feet above the ground.〔〔 Each fan unit comprises a pair of electric motors, one driving a carbon-fibre composite rotor above and the other driving a similar rotor below. A circular duct surrounds both rotors. The batteries and associated control and radio link systems are housed in a central hub at the top of the column, in order to minimise the weight of copper used for the electrical power cabling. Battery capacity is approximately 250 Ah.〔 The passenger stands on the flat base of the central column and has no flight controls, instead a radio link allows a remote operator to pilot the craft. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「TechHaus Volantis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
