just 15 minutes of airborne giggles before the battery needs to go back on the charger,

Looks basically like a drone, large scale- pretty cool looking. With the right rillcabe, safety harnesses, and cushioning, even crashes might be about like F-1 where the driver can withstand tremendous crashes and still be ok. Shaken but fine.

Killer statement:

The flight endurance is pretty disappointing: an 85 kg (187 lb) pilot can expect just 15 minutes of airborne giggles before the battery needs to go back on the charger, presumably for a decent chunk of time. Fifteen minutes is a long time if you're holding your breath, but it's not a long time if you're trying to master and enjoy your new US$92,000 toy.

I would rather see something that uses directed thrust without massive props. That looks like a flying human blender.

Also — use fuel since it only lasts 15 minutes.

If that thing sheds a blade, guess who’s getting cut in half.

presumably owners will be able to fly them about on a private pilot's license in the USA as experimental/home built aircraft.

I can't see why you would need a license if you're flying off road and not in airplane air space.......

I'd probably plant it after a hundred yards. This is more my speed, especially if you like winter recreation. May I introduce you to.......

I wonder if a gen-pack could be added to extend the time.
