I’m holding out for a George Jetson tye model, one that preferably runs on something cool like Di-lithium crystals or something.

How about an electric helicopter with no pilot?

That’s just an airplane with the propellers in the wrong place.

The mechanisms on a helicopter are awful, create huge vibration, and are maintenance challenges. A bunch of electric motors would be smooth, require far less maintenance, and would be far simpler.
I’m no fan of the electric plane concept, but if it can work anywhere, I think the “eVTOL air taxi” market is it. Short hops between airports in major urban areas would be a great market for this air taxi.

Western governments hate that we ever gained the right to drive cars - do you think any of them would approve this?
Might gain a market shuttling Asian billionaires and CCP officials between airports and luxury hotels.

LOL, it doesn't really matter if the contraption works or not . . .
Three words: OVERHEAD POWER LINES.
They are the bane of private pilots even if just flying between established airfields. Just imagine the chaos with thousands of unqualified "pilots" trying to navigate suburban or even rural neighborhoods.
It's not going to happen . . . even if it did, as soon as a couple of idiots fry themselves and their passengers, they'll be banned.
