Oh, yes, I want one. Gimmie my personal helicopter!

One note, it\’s not 50 kmph, but 55 mph.
5 gallons per hour two stroke petrol and oil mix. ($40 an hour in the air, pretty cheap, no?)
Ah, no auto rotation: maybe that autogyro is looking a little better now?
Still, $60k and 30 hours to build the kit. Anyone remember the Jetsons?
Sorry but why no autorotation?
Myself, I have always wanted to build one that looks a little more like a motorcycle. An autogyro would work. The problem has always been licencing requirements from what I can see. The Governments of Europe in particular like border controls and so don’t want people flying.
A shame.
I like the little transparent umbrella between his head and the engine. Is it to stop oil leaks ruining his helmet?
That’s an umbrella…?
Damn, I thought they’d developed the personal force field as well… 🙁
Your photo shows a ‘copter that can’t work, whereas your second link has a photo that shows the second rotor, so it can work. Perhaps the wee halo helps it work too?
Well it’s perhaps more user friendly than the home rocket man kit. Dante and Randall discuss the failure to invent a Jetson’s style flying car.
Try again

It’s all fun and games until some twat tries to land this in the wrong spot and beheads half a dozen people.
You can buy a kit and build a real, time-tested, helicopter for about $60k. See http://www.rotorway.com
