Two very big problems with this device:
1. It can't autorotate the way a normal helicopter can -- If the power quits
you're dead.
( That's true of all lift fan devices. )
2. The downwash speed is so great that it would send rocks, sand, grass flying
everywhere unless there were a very clean paved pad.

Looks like a neat design. I can see some possible problems like the unguarded
propellers and I wonder about the noise level. Closest thing
yet to the childhood promise of a flying car. Needs LENR to give it range.
