@iamwillcannon: Meet Fan Shishan who just unveiled a 4.6 meter flying sword weighing 100 kilograms that carries a human rider through the air controlled by a sword-shaped lever with no CGI and no special effects And thats where drone technology just went somewhere nobody expected Fan started in 2020 with sword-shaped quadcopters nobody took seriously and by 2024 had built a hovering platform large enough to stand on and by December 2025 was controlling 30 drone swords simultaneously through motion-sensing gloves that tracked every hand gesture in real time and his latest creation solves the hardest engineering problem an unconventional sword shape creates extreme balancing challenges for any aerial vehicle and his four-man team spent 18 months solving it and the result was praised by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning Heres where it gets insane Fan has never commercialized any of this never taken a brand deal and built everything from savings earned as an influencer and his next goal is ten thousand swords moving as one a scene from Chinese wuxia fiction that has never existed outside of CGI But the craziest part A former hotel employee just publicly demonstrated something nobody else on earth has ever built and his next goal is ten thousand of them moving as one Hashtags: #FanShishan #FlyingSword #ShishanGuy #FlyingSwordChina
