If it can take-off vertically, then I might just get this.

TomSowell25:
it takes about 100 meters to take off compared to 1800 meters for airport runways .
Vertical Take-off like Helicopter will be a major appeal. I still dont know how I am going drive it Epe road before I can take-off and fly back many miles before I get to VI.

Hahaha, to all you people who are saying amma get this, amma get that, I just dey laff una. All flying vehicles can only be operated by licensed pilots. So if you want to buy one and fly it yourself, you would need to go to pilot school and get licensed and that is neither easy nor straightforward. The alternative, of course, is to hire your own personal pilot grin grin
Just pray Danbaba Suntai doesnt happen to you cool

The design seems like a nice way to die for folks who think every piece of technology from the West is Godsend.

I guess one can say the design is good for school projects as well as enthusiasts. It's this kind of design that gets the attention Richard Branson. But other than attention and display of great engineering skill, no investor will put a significant green-back on such venture. In fact investors learnt bitter lessons during the 30s through 50s when auto and aeronautic engineers worked day and night to bring about flying cars.

Let's not get it twisted, cars can fly. In fact there isn't much difference between a car and an aircraft - if you want your car to fly or your private jet to drive on Ojuelegba 's asphalt, I bet some guy from LASU or FUTO might have solutions for you - You don't need to look for Elon Musk. The issue is what happens after the car or jet zooms off. Will the car stall in mid air? Is it aerodynamic enough? Can it muster enough thrust and lift? At what altitude will it operate, and does it have good avionics to enable it overcome dangers posed by 1 dollar laser beams that kids point to the sky every now and then? Or should we do a knock down on the avionics and perhaps rely on the visual acuity of the pilot to fly the machine just like folks did with early WW2 spitfires? And if that's the case how much hard-landings, crashes, and fatalities would be acceptable?

And we haven't even decided on God-knows-what gas guzzling engine to put on the da*mn thing - is it gonna be jet engine, internal combustion, or Stirling?

My guess is that perhaps only govts in Eastern Europe and developing countries would allow such piece of machinery fly over people's homes. No sane man would let a car fly over his head unless he's an ISIS militant. I suggest the designers put a label reading "Ride and Die Machine" on it should they decide to sell to the public.
