I would prefer some kind of flying jetski or hover board. Superheated steam like the exhaust from a hydrogen peroxide rocket will oxidise carbon or zirconium allowing extended flight time and improved performance. This is what happens when a nuclear reactor melts down, the graphite cooling rods burn. This could make a better thrust system.
The reason cities will never allow this plane to come to fruition is because no matter what you do there will always be accidents and a plane on fire falling from the sky with rotars spinning wont be a nice thing to watch when it lands into a crowd as in the street.Not going to happen no matter who perfects one just isnt feasible. Im mean look at today there is absolutely no reason for a pilot to be in the cockpit they can RC all the way around the world.But there will always be a guy at the wheel.Its called security.No ones going to get on a 787 full of people and know theres no one flying in the cockpit but the man whos actually flying this machine is in wherever USA.Aint going to happen man has limits even though our imaginations dont. I say thank GOD.
I think this concept has no future because of the uncomfortable position of the passenger. Regarding safety: the same holds true for all of those little electric VTOL concepts (Volocopter, Lilium Jet, Ehang...). But all these safety concerns can be solved by computers, that can simply forbid extreme maneuvers and unusual attitudes. The passenger would only need to dictate up/down, forward speed and heading. Everything else, like max. allowed decent rate, especially in close proximity to the ground, can be overridden by computer steering. Allthough they can be switched off, we have similar safety mechanisms in any Airbus today (max bank angle, stall prevention, even autoland). And for the worst case, the aircraft could be equipped with a ballistic parachute, like in a Cirrus Aircraft or many Light Sport Aircraft.
Hardly. Flying an F-16 would also be impossible, without a flight computer. No modern (small) aircraft is "stable". They're designed to be unstable. A computer can handle it, no problemo.
Ima SuperPerson automated landing is one thing, stability assist is another, but you can see the runway in an f16 in the puffin you're stuck starting straight up or forward unable to even see the landing pad
Ima SuperPerson again autonomous flight is its own thing, certainly it could be autonomous, But I'm just saying as a pilot, it would be nearly impossible to land for the same reason we don't have the pogo aircraft, so you better hope that computer never pops a fuse

I hope this means the idea is still being worked on. The last post I saw on this was 2010.
It is. See today's news about Uber hiring Mark D Moore from NASA.
Do they expect the pilot to jump into it or why did they make the entrance and standing platform so high?
Like the concept a lot! Though i could foresee some difficulties in supplying enough oxygen to the cockpit over an extended flight period...
If it doesn't fly too high, you can just take in outside air
So, it's essentially a Segway for the skies...
As a Bicopter user, Is it possible to take a PAV like this?? I was wondering about laid to airplane is not compotable.. I think.
What's a Bicopter?
needs to be chunkier for the American market.
Landing could be problematic under high wind due to large planform

FIREHAWK1979
For electric propulsion I know how to reduce air drag by 200%. Which would really help you out.
FIREHAWK1979 Anyone interested in reducing fuel consumption and increasing airspeed, give me a call !!!
For what? A hover board?

I like the idea but landing it would be impossible

Ima SuperPerson try landing a quad copter on a coaster while staring at the ceiling
Mind blown
Again, computers my friend. Computers. These things aren't going to require a human to land, or even fly.
