I frankly don’t know why
It’s taken
This long to make a viable passengers drone. Seems like it’d be pretty basic. Maybe enclose those blades though. 😳

Maybe Tesla could make one now.


Big enough battery to go 2-4 hours and maybe 75-100 mph would make this a real thing

Heard Newsom ordered one it uses the same battery as his lawnmower and dildo so it was super convenient………..

It looks like zero glide ratio. It does have a ballistic parachute, but from what altitude is it effective?

I'm fine not being the first on my block to own one, looks scary as F.

Starting at 220.000, assembled. Buying one is the cheapest part, maintaining it on the long run is the deal breaker.


The Rotorway A600 gets my vote!
The electric Volocopter at the end is interesting.

And, here are the real ones :p Someone won the mega lottery in Havasu 🤔

I can't wait to sell my house so I can afford this. I've always wanted to go very slow very close to the ground for a very short time.

LMAO! 😁

I try to keep my inner crumudgeon in check... If these things help keep aviation relevant then more power to them.

I hope they have really good lawyers.

Pretty cool like a SXS for the air.

LOL If you are flying at 100’ altitude and the motor quits, it still goes another 100’ by itself.

When I was a kid, you could buys plans out of the back of comic books to turn your mom’s vacuum into a hovercraft. This is obviously generation two!

I'm disappointed that this doesn't make the same engine sounds as the original Jetson on TV. This one must be noisy as F since they only show it with background music.

Lol, my wifes phone notification sound is George's space ship. It garners some of the greatest reactions from people nearby🤣

It'll be interesting to watch the kids do their drone racing non-virtually.

Finally someone put a roll cage in one of these things. I predict it will sell simply due to that reason

If it doesn't fold down into a briefcase I'm not interested.

I can't wait for the armchair analytics of the stupidity of the flying jet ski pilots here on RDP.
