A personal flight vehicle, comprising:
- a frame including a central member coupled at a first end to a first one or more arms and at a second end to a second one or two arms;
- a first foot binding for securing a pilot to the frame coupled to the central member at the first end and a second foot binding for securing the pilot to the frame coupled to the central member at the second end;
- one or more batteries coupled to the central member;
- at least two propellor assemblies each of which is coupled to the distal end of one of the first one or more arms or the second one or more arms and each of which is electrically coupled to at least one of the one or more batteries, wherein each of the at least two propellor assemblies includes
- a propellor,
- a motor coupled to the propeller at one end and coupled to an arm of the first one or more arms or of the second one or more arms at the other end, and
- a speed controller coupled to the frame and electrically coupled to the motor;
- and
- a controller used by the pilot communicatively coupled to the at least two propellor assemblies that allows the pilot to control the rotational speed of propellors of the at least two propellor assemblies, which is used to generate lift for flight.
