>personal flying device
what did they mean by this?
a personal flying terrorist?
GREAT IDEA !!

...

This looks kinda DANGEROUS.

That's way too easy to kill people with...
It will be a huge success among muslims...

Look out your window, see this...
Allahu Akbar!

>Boeing will give $2 million to anyone who can build a functional personal flying vehicle. ON IT
Eh, I'll bite, should be a good application of my knowledge.

Going to end up spending 2$ Million USD designing the damn thing in the end anyways.

Remember this.

Boeing can go fuck themselves, a realistic personal flying machine is worth far more than that, and they know it.

2 million is a ridiculously small sum for an aerospace project. My guess is the marketing department had some money left over and slapped this together after an 8ball or two.

>flying cars piloted by drunk uninsured mexicans
>implying the FAA is going to let unlicensed pilots do jack shit outside of VFR

It's not a technology problem.

these are the future of personal transportation

extremely inexpensive to manufacture for all sorts of applications, reliable, easily automatable
who knows how driver's license shit will work to operate such devices though
people would start falling out of the sky and crashing into each other eventually though

Something like inter meshing rotor like the K max heli

Bid reached 6 mil on eBay for one of these. But I don't believe it.

...

>implying all airspace is restricted the same
Read a book

The FAA tried to make everyone get a mandatory license for model airplanes. Do you really think they'll allow flying cars? There's already been plenty of talk about regulating ultralights.

This. I'd want at least 2 more zeroes behind that number and a tasty amount of shares.

Oh gee I wonder what will happen when the durka durkas get their hands on these

built in speed limiters, mandatory autopilot in certain zones, and extensive training.

...

Implying they'll let anyone fly in anything other than class G airspace or E in HER conditions. Have fun trying to integrate IFR systems into a jet pack

Put it in Van at Airport parking lot, then wait for target.

Converts to a tilting Trike.

Just looks like a guy taking a comical space-age shit

Plus this, as a power supply
