That's sexy!

I ran into this during my flight-sim research.

I think i'll buy one of those next time I get a raise.

Nice and small, I like, just afraid to see what the price-tag would be like.....and what kind of license you require to legally fly the thing...

Makes me wonder if the future of flying would be cheaper one day to just have access to your own jet you bring out to some airport with a good airstrip to take off on, rather then paying for a two-way ticket where you may lose your luggage and what not in the process.....

But I guess that's better then a beginner aviator crashing you and your family (or possibly you yourself) into the ground because of unforeseen weather circumstances.

Actually that's already being done. Cities in northamerica have been built around an airstrip, with every house having their own hangar.

I think Moller is on the right track when it comes to future personal transportation, although he is way off base with the volantor. It's basically just an aircraft with vectored thrust. It's not a car, doesn't really provide efficient lift and doesn't have enough thrust to really carry any luggage.

Not bad actually, between $900,000 and $2,700,000

Think I'll get one for christmas :)

well the license I think would be the hardest part because its an actual jet. Getting your prop engine license isnt hard but ive heard jet engines are a little harder.

Would this increase the statistical rates of planes hitting highrise buildings?
