I'd rather an R22.

Maybe if someone engineered a swing-tail boom and folding rotor STC, that'd be a great bonus.

Ok so yeah kudos to the people that are actually putting this forth. For pilots I see this as a pretty awesome ride, but it's been marketed towards civilians and that is a scary thought for me. I mean we can view a 3D world and understand how it works, but a civilian without any aviation knowledge will be limited to a 2D plane of thought. Also, how on earth will they govern this? Can you imagine flying around and having a car fly up to get a closer look or try and fly formation with you (because they think it's cool). *smh*
A pilots license should be required. Mainly because it requires a bit of brain power to achieve and therefore limits idiots from being inthe sky (for lack of better terms) :s

A pilots license can not be held by an idiot?

When did they change the requirements?

The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no


After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.
