Imagine… something like an FPV Racing Drone… BUT it’s the square footage of an NBA basketball court. That’s what we’re building Dynamo. We are deep in CAD rn, and I must say… things are looking SPICY! World’s largest quadcopter, coming soon.

We will build this out as a service company! Inspo from Ahmed shubber Uber type experience where you beep boop on your phone and a gigantic quadcopter shows up to move heavy stuff for you. Can’t say exact pricing yet, but will be substantially cheaper than a helicopter.

Spot on! Construction will be one of the first use cases we address Anywhere that repeated back and forth, pick and place is needed with significant hover time - we decimate on efficiency, cost, precision, and throughput.

We’re not building an eVTOL taxi. Would have to pioneer new regs to make that work. Plus that market/use case is still murky, imo. We will have zero humans onboard. Utilize existing regs. Serve an existing market - but cheaper, faster, safer, and with more capability.

I’ve always been fascinated and inspired that we, as relatively tiny creatures, can build and operate such Giga sized machines. Such a flex of human will. Dynamo’s aim is to contribute to humanity’s toolbox - Giga sized drones to carry Giga sized payloads 🫡
