How am I supposed to text and fly? Lol
It’s awesome.…but I doubt it’ll have a significant market impact because it isn’t affordable for the modern day consumer. It’s like the only way for products such as these to truly takeoff is mass accessibility. Look at how they sold the Quest 2 for a loss. It became one of the widest bought vr headsets to the point where any other player can’t get ANYWHERE close to a footing.
Think of the EV trade off, to instead of burning a gallon of gas comparible, along with burning your time which is worse.
Yes, I want one!
This aircraft could not legally be flown in Germany. The minimum flight time to be demonstratet is one hour. The major drawback: you must take off from an airport and must land on an airport, but not from your backyard,
people should only be allowed to fly these “for fun” if they generate the enormous amount of energy with their own hands or feet. good luck with that!
I’ve as loved traffic congratulations 3 decades ago . And after calling DOTS all across the USA . Florida DOT tells me if I solve traffic congratulations no one will get paid locally. Coming to found out and believe all states running same auto insurance scam on daily unaware😂 commuters Alll across the USA kp your distance…yalllllewns
First power line at those low altitudes and it’s game over
For 20k, just like a small car, it would be nice
Been a pilot over 35 years. Congestion exists on the ground and in the air. New air routes will be created to accommodate “flying vehicles”. Can anyone imgaine 1000’s of these vehicles taking off and landing in tight spaces. A mid air congestion has greater congestions than a collision on the ground.
I would definitely ride it to work, if I could afford it.
Wayyy too much money. 40 thousand would be more like it because you only get a 20-minute flight time. Absolutely absurd.
Not feasible, $100K, to flight only 20 minutes, it’s not worth the money, unless you are a multi millionaire willing to buy a fancy toy, not practical at all!
the logistics of this becoming standard humans transport to replace ground vehicles is pure fiction. Atleast in the short term. The infrastructure for a world where flying cars are standard doesnt exist.
They need to improve the Battery or Flight Time.
Oh reality is when more people get their drones, the big mess on air… Crashes all the way!
I wonder how long it will be before the first case of Jetson air rage is reported ?
20 minute battery life isn’t long enough.
Daily commute = 40m round trip in car, if video is correct then my commute would be 5m or so? So a 20m flight time isn’t all that bad maybe…idk I’m not great with math. For example how can I get my bank account to have more trailing 0’s so I can make this dream a reality?
Extremely fun toy, impractical way of commute. For the cost you can taxi to work everyday.
I live only two miles from my work place , send me one to America and I’ll fly to work .
I can build one much much more inexpensive than that! I have built several small planes so why is this so different?
I would love to fly one of these to work but the 20 minute limit might be an issue for me. Plus I would have to figure out some place where I could both land and recharge at work.
Maybe next time make the annoying music louder?
the vehicle only available for the rich, do you think the average person can afford this, I’m a disable veteran on a fix income, more toys for only the rich
What safety devices does it have? Chute? Crash resistant?😮
Love the fact you are a Tintin fan!
Instead of road rage its now sky rage. This is going to get interesting. And there aint no finder binders in this thing its all a blood bath. I’m sticking to the ground option.
For anyone who is curious they are saying you don’t need a license and that’s true but only over select areas most places you will absolutely need a license and faa registration for this.
no way, people cant fly and text.
Horrible to think the idiots on the road can now fly.
Have you seen people driving these days? Now you want them just flying around all willy nilly. No thanks
What is its glide distance when you lose a prop or power?
Recreational use only, so its an expensive toy
There is a version of this for Microsoft Flight Simulator and it’s incredibly fun! I love sightseeing in large cities with it, flying between buildings and under bridges. Of course you couldn’t do this in real life but I’d definitely fly one for real.
I am really looking forward to the day when hundreds of thousands of people will be commuting to work in the air. Just what we need idiots in the air instead of idiots on the ground.
Maybe 20 mins of flight time and $92,000. No thanks. A ways back they had 15 mins of flight time and were $75,000.
Wow 3 miles😂
I want 1 hour flight time, not 20 min
I work from home, so I guess instead of driving the Porsche for a half hour before I start work I’d just fly around before work. Sounds like fun to me.
This is a bad idea.…
Why does the craft have to fly so close to the ground? Are they a Parachute option?
Oh sure! Every body commutes from a farm with open fields, no trees, no utility poles, no high rise buildings and always during sunny, clear, calm weather. Yah. Right. Pure fantasy.
I want 1
Why not just fly the astral?
