A former Navy pilot is about to test the prototype for a personal flying machine. How cool is that! I would love to have one of these things so that I could fly with a real bird’s-eye view of neat places like the Palisades cliffs & New York Harbor… of course, it would be a blast buzzing all the cars stuck on the GW bridge at rush hour, too.
Wonder what you could do to avoid a mid-air collision with a Canada goose at 80 mph, though.
That thing looks like a gas! I would love to try it out. I just don’t think the average citizen will get the opportunity to own one. I wonder what the FAA stance on personal flight will be. How long before you’ll need a “flight” endorsement on your license? Will the police want to outlaw these: John Doe robs bank and escapes using a low level flight pattern at 80 mph. Maybe it’s big brother paranoia, but don’t see the government letting this go public without a fight.
