So this might just be the most expensive cosplay accessory ever made.
But I wonder how difficult this thing would be to fly. This could also be used to skip traffic (in the most ghibli way possible). |

Looks more like a "man riding a drone". I always thought "mehve" was German for "seagull".

I wonder how many nerds become scientists just so they can recreate the technology they saw on TV.
I bet a lot of the Apple staff are Star Trek/Space Odyssey fans... and of course NASA. |

I wonder if anyone is brave enough to ride such a glider to 10,000 feet.

If it's able to get that high... I didn't watch the video fully, but it didn't seem to be able to get more than a few feet off the ground. |

It looks cool, but I don't think its stable, it does lack tail steer by. I do also wonder if it has powerful enough engine to sustain flight.
Gutsy, hope their able to work out the design. |

I wonder if the craft is based on this one that I saw at a visiting exhibition at Aomori Museum of Art in August 2012:
