According to Tang, the single-person helicopter was made by a group of people.
Tang soared through the air wearing a helmet, as the rotor spun above his head.
There is no carriage for him to sit in, with his body completely exposed to the open air.
The helicopter moved seamlessly through the air, and even hovered above the ground.
Local press have revealed it has a maximum flight of 25 miles, and a maximum speed of around 60mph, as reported by What’s The Jam.
