VOLANTIS - LADY GAGA

On Sunday, November 10th, on the eve of her fourth album release, Lady Gaga demonstrated Volantis, the world’s first flying dress, in front of a select group of media. Designed and engineered by Studio XO for Gaga’s own TechHaus, Volantis enables human flight outside of conventional helicopters and aerospace structures. This incredible first for fashioned technology is a purpose designed transport prototype engineered to carry a person with controlled hover and directional movement.
Volantis is based on proven UAV designs providing the best thrust to weight ratio. This design has six booms in a “Hex” formation with two electric motors on the end of each boom providing power to two purpose designed carbon fiber propeller blades. The passenger payload module is created from a titanium tube while the passenger housing is built from a combination of carbon fiber components and the highest quality leather.
In addition to Volantis, Studio XO engineered aviation couture that Lady Gaga wore during lift off, flight and landing.
