Can attain heights of 10,000 feet, travel at 93 MPH, and can go 25 miles. Commuter of the future? Rapid attack force? Search and rescue? Drone Men?
New growth industry?
Or never get off the ground due to too much regulation?
I hate to see it go upside down, and drive the flyer straight into the dirt.

I’m not worried about it getting off the ground, but about how it gets back on the ground.

Cool way for a hundred Marines to launch a surprise attack on an enemy - though I’m sure the DoD has a superior version of this already.

I don’t think I’d want one of those flying over MY head. Look at the down wash on the water. In order to lift 200 lbs, you need to generate 200 lbs of lift by accelerating air down. That is a LOT of high-speed air.
Looks more practical than the hydrogen peroxide fueled rocket pack from the 1960s that is still demoed today, and it’s smaller than the Martin Jetpack, but between the noise, down wash, and hazards of flying into power lines or flipping it and auggering in, no, it is not the next commuter.
Whoever is the first to die from one of these things will own the company after the lawsuit is settled.
