Naah, we're perfectly safe. 'Cause that thing will never fly without a crane hooked to it. The physics are against it. The fuel use is against it. The noise is against it. The cost is against it. FAA certification is against it. The chances of engine failure ruining your day are against it. Finding a test pilot is against it. Did I say the physics are against it? It can't do what they say it will do. No way, no how. Yep, we're safe, from it. -- Jim in NC |

At this point I find it hard to imagine one of these things flying much less a city full of them at rush hour. Tony |

The problem would be for the test pilot, when it "quit flying." Remember those 2 cycle backpack helicopters? Imagine an ejection seat in one of those. Ouch! -- Jim in NC |
