I think that this is absolutely wild. Have you seen this? Would you fly on one?

      they mention the military couldn't find an application due to the short 30-45 min runtime, but i think the even more obvious factor to consider is that it's unsafe as hell. if the motor stops it drops like a rock...a parachute should be mandatory. at least in a plane u can glide and in a helicopter u have autorotation, in this you've got nothing. very interesting but not sure i would try it myself.

    I dunno - I might, but I wouldn't be more that two feet off the ground. No way I'd bee over tree tops in it - or even roof tops.

    I'd give it a try. Not high off the ground, not at first, but I'd try it to see how comfortable and confident I was with it - and me as the pilot. That would dictate how brave I got with it.



    Maybe this explains those Mexican UFO's that looked like a flying person?

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

    I would love to give it a try. I wonder what kind of mileage this thing gets? You sure would think that they would have used this for something.
