SureFly, Ricardo, 3D-printed EV, Frangivento.
SureFly is a hybrid heli put together by Workhorse. Usually known for its plug-in pick-ups, this is the firm’s venture into the passenger market but also a nod to its other business, drones. The SureFly has eight electric motors driving the rotors. A Li-ion battery acts as back up while a petrol generator provides most of the energy for up to 110 km. Workhorse hopes to produce its octocopter by 2019.
