Aside from the fact that, like almost all flying vehicles, it uses about 12 gallons of gas, or its equivalent, for just 10 minutes of flight, it’s cool.

I’m not going to buy a machine that costs about $50 bucks for 10 minutes of flying. I’m not that flush.

A Cessna 152, a two passenger airplane, uses about 6 gallons of gasoline per hour. At about 90 mph.

Except that it doesn’t use gas. It’s all-electric.

I showed the video to my wife. She thought it was a great concept, but then spoke of the reality associated with it.

She said to imagine what traffic might be like with a whole lot of these Black Flys in the air. It’d look like the skies above Coruscant from the Star Wars films.

Not only that, but if it’s going to be used as a personal transportation vehicle, where would you park it?

Just a thought.
