Sometimes you have a dream. And that dream is to one day fly in a giant drone powered by 54 propellers and a controller from Hobby King.

Looking every bit the madcap inventor, a man in a helmet and goggles bounces around in a multi-rotor machine that's called "the Swarm," according to the YouTube account where the clip was posted. It seems that these days, with a few bits and bobs, man can take flight in a lawn chair complete with an umbrella to protect from rain.

The contraption appears to have been undergoing development for quite some time — there are various videos of the vehicle being tested all the way back in 2013, although this is the first time we've seen a human strapped in.
