This Guy Created a Personal Helicopter at Home by Joining 54 drones together.

Drones are becoming a craze these days and we have witnessed them being put to some amazing uses already. Nevertheless, this one guy decided that having one drone was mainstream and decided to bundle together a number of them to create an amazing contraption. Personal Helicopter Created Using 54 Drones2

He used a total of 54 drones for this amazing project and made use of electronics and an umbrella to create ‘The Swarm’. It is no longer a drone, technically speaking, however it sure is cool.Personal Helicopter Created Using 54 Drones3

The video was uploaded to YouTube by user gasturbine101 and the design is able to carry a maximum weight of 148kg while offering a flight time of 10 minutes. It doesn’t look very stable, however, no one lands a perfect score in first try. We wish him luck and hope that he can build on this idea and create something even more astonishing.

No More Jet Airways. Supreme Court Says “No Choice”, Orders Liquidation

Jet Airways was once one of India’s leading airlines, known for its service and extensive network. Founded in 1993, it served millions of passengers, connecting cities across India and international destinations.

However, since grounding its flights in April 2019, Jet Airways has struggled to navigate financial turbulence, leading to years of efforts to revive the airline and return it to the skies.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court ordered the liquidation of Jet Airways, citing “no choice” but to take this decisive step after the resolution plan failed to meet creditor obligations. The court invoked its extraordinary powers under Article 142, which allows it to make orders for “complete justice” in any case, overriding previous tribunal rulings.

The Jalan-Kalrock Consortium (JKC), which had won the bid to revive Jet, faced criticism for not fulfilling payment commitments to creditors, which included major banks like the State Bank of India and Punjab National Bank.

The Supreme Court’s ruling pointed to “peculiar and alarming” issues surrounding the resolution plan’s implementation, leading to its conclusion that liquidation was the only feasible outcome.

Chief Justice DY Chandrachud, alongside Justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra, emphasized that while liquidation should be a last resort, it was necessary as the resolution plan was “no longer capable of implementation.”

In line with this decision, the court ordered that the ₹200 crore already infused by JKC be forfeited and directed the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) in Mumbai to appoint a liquidator to oversee the process.

JKC, a partnership between Murari Jalan, a UAE-based Indian entrepreneur, and Florian Fritsch, a Jet shareholder through Kalrock Capital Partners Limited, had taken ownership of Jet Airways two years after it was grounded. The consortium’s inability to fulfill its financial obligations has now led to this final verdict, marking the end of an era for Jet Airways in India.
