They can carry up to maybe 3 tons of 'cargo'.

And, amazingly, can fly as high as your 787 flight does. (You'd need O2, and maybe mittens though. )


Very cool the way the precession from the video makes the prop blades look curved and almost stationary at times.

(The music in that video is terrible, IMO.)
