Kenny Chua pilots the Snowstorm, a personal flying machine built by a group of engineering students of the National University of Singapore (NUS), at NUS gymnasium in Singapore December 10, 2015. The prototype, a collaboration between the Engineering faculty's Design-Centric Programme and the University Scholars Porgramme, sports 24 motors each driving a propeller of 76cm in diameter and can bear the load of a single person up to 70kg for a flight time of about five minutes. The flight control system provides automated flight controls similar to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as well as manual control by the pilot. (Photo by Edgar Su/Reuters)
