I demand one for my next birthday! Anime hyper
Lol, if they ever finish it to the point where they can start selling , it'll probably cost it's weight in gold. But still, I always thought that Nausicaa's glider was one of the coolest fantasy designs ever. I guess I was right.

That's the problem, traffic....

I fly planes, you shouldnt be at 500 ft from any tall object, person, car and buildings included, plus the chances of death through a crash would increase as stupid pilots would do maneuvers that will involve people on the ground, and the classic tower crashes will duplicate tenfold.

is just a glider, you can get one for 6000, but for that you need a special license and you can't go away more than 3000 FT radius from the nearest airport.

Is cool, no doubt about it, but if you plan to use for traffic, so do we all, and guess what....yeah..too much traffic and stupid people flying will lead to on air collisions and sadly, there is not stopping or pulling over on mid air.

As the aerodynamic technology allows it so far, it doesnt have a chance in your lifetime yet.

yea i can see them having the problem figuring out how to make the propulsion system on the bottom. where is the company that makes this? and if its japanese, maybe they will develope the technology when the recession stops. or who knows? a lot of technology can come out of nowhere

its cooler than a car, and cheaper
