We already have had this it's called a helicopter and it's not flying it's a propulsion system it's more or less a jump button it cannot sustain flight.

It's a cool stunt but that's all this is nobody is driving this around.

I could care less if it actually flies like a helicopter or plane. It did a kick flip over a bunch of stuff, that's pretty baller

Yeah it's a cool stunt I'm not arguing against this but I have seen so many people think this thing is being sold to the general public.

Oh there's no way the general public is getting their hands on it. Still made for a neat video

No doubt I would love to hit the jump button myself

They’ll sell a standard EV version of it and then the general public can make flying car jokes about it I guess.

It's a propulsion system it's not flying it's a fueled powered boost/jump system it's needs stabilization and perfect conditions to come down and not crash.

It's why jetpack videos are overarge bodies of water because they cannot land or control it fully reliably.

Flying is something that can maintain and control somewhat itself.

My buddy has a small Cessna for example it flys it can fly and glide without anything running because auto dynamicly it's designed to fly.

A 5000+lbs vehicle with a possible bomb under it is not designed to fly

By standard EV version I mean they’ll have a non-flying version.
