Hello,
Today I found something interesting.
There is a project in Europe called MyCopter.
They indeed aimed for a creating a personal air transport system (PATS) with
Personal Aerial Vehicles (PAVs).
So they are investigating what it needs to have such a system in the future.
Several universities and labs are working on this:
-Max-Planck-Institut für biologische Kybernetik
-The University of Liverpool
-École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
-Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich
-Karlsruher Institut für Technologie
-Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt
Today I found another interesting article in the local newspaper about the work
of the Max-Planck-Institut für biologische Kybernetik here in Tübingen/Germany.
To my surprise they showed a picture of one of their simulators- and it does
shows Flightgear! (obviously KSFO 28R)
