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.

Imagine the overwhelming force you could have with 30 or 40 of these with trained heavily armed men operating them.

This is a force multiplier. I hope the nerds in the DOD are way ahead of this childs toy.

I wonder how it works upside down? Prolly as good as a helicopter.

“Commuter of the future? Rapid attack force? Search and rescue? Drone Men?”

Illegal immigrant transport?

Still, I want one.

I could get to work quicker. Fly twice as fast as driving and bypass the traffic.
I could get smacked by birds.........

Good technology with a talented pilot. But the first time someone smacks into a bridge face-first...

Once I get to heaven I won't need equipment to fly around, and there's no crashing there. I'm 68--I'll wait.

This one uses propellers. Don’t know specs but should be more fuel efficency thus having longer range.
