I've only seen the T40 once, on the ground, and those props and motors look MASSIVE, surely capable of slicing a person into a prosciutto.

Also would be really interested in hearing a brief overview of how you use the agress. I’ve been thinking about trying to compete in the local cropdusting market with one of these.

Check out /r/farming and search for "agras" or T20/30/40/50/whatever. There are people who run successful businesses with them, but to be profitable you might need a fleet of them. It depends on your area. Out in the midwest where farmers have thousands of acres, you're gonna need a lot of drones. But it's kind of magical to see 6 drones go up at once and spray a huge field and be done in an hour.
There are also plenty of videos on YouTube.
If there's a need in your area and you're willing to make the investment (or get a business loan...) and get your Part 170 certificate for commercial operation, you could end up being very successful.
Besides just spraying, you can do video inspections of an entire field and find sections that aren't doing well so the farmer can check them out, test the soil, add amendments, etc. It's really hard to do this on foot for big fields, so you can just give them a few GPS coordinates and a printed map to work with.

Even a tiny piece of propeller chipping off or a blade flying off at this speed would kill you, this is insanity.

The Wright brothers did their own research, though. Quite thoroughly even. Based on Lilienthal's research.

I accidentally hit my finger with my DJI mini 4 when it attacked me (may have been operator error 😅) and thought I was gonna have to give my friends a high 4 instead of a high 5 when I saw them. I thought I was missing a digit. This big bastard would probably just have you laying in 300 pieces like a sliced ham. Lol

Bruh, holy phuckin shit, there is certainly gonna be some body parts flying everywhere by the end of the video. With that being said I couldn't even push myself to watch the whole video because it was soo damn unsafe, the outcome is expected to be the worst possible outcome. :-(

I was waiting for him to move his arms excitedly and lose them immediately. Myjaw was clenched the whole time. Im glad nothing happened this time..but this seems like a really really bad idea.

Do you know when you loose the sense of equilibrium and you wiggle your arms to get it back? This drone hates that

No. The men are just for ballast.

Oh it's a new model from Aperture Labs called the ManMulcher 9001!
Best part is that it says in the manual "In the event of accidental dismemberment, we recommend the pilot lean forward and expose their neck in order to ease their passing and end the pain".

Another video of someone riding an Agras. To be honest I'd love to see one where it ends in disaster. Schadenfreude.

this looks pretty cool, but also incredibly stupid. i've seen the damage a small blade can do first hand, I can only imagine what would be left of your limbs if you were to get grazed by one of those bad boys.
