Finally, a personal drone. An all electric flying craft that does not require a license. The future is now...

Yup, sure looks like it will get you to the crash site pretty good.

I want that flyboard airboard / whatever that thing is called.

Or take one of those and mod it so it looks like one of those scout speeder bike things from ROTJ

How about a 5000' face-plant.

From what I've read, recommended only for over water flight.
Not exactly my vision of everyman's flyin car, but a neat concept none the less. I wonder if it can pull a skier or tube?

They have not posted a price yet even though they are taking $500 deposits for a $2000 deduction off the final price. They also say the final model will be quieter as this one is super loud.

Since lift is from an electric motor and battery life is finite, the safety aspect hasn't been explained. What happens when you run out of juice? Since gravity is very well understood, they might have a bit of a problem.

Pull it where, . Up in the air ?

More than half the fun skiing and tubing is a boat's wake.

Ski Lake Livingston when the wind is up..the waves outperform a boat wake any day, but it's a rough as hades boat ride.

AR ?

Auto Rotation.

And ya ain't gettin' my ass up in one of those things even though there's water all over the place around here.

Aka A Requiem.

take those pontoons off and you can mow the lawn with it!

Thanks Ray. Geeze, the things I found when I searched.

I discounted Accelerated Reading. Slightly considered Acoustic Research (some one mentioned the noise that thing makes). I gave more consideration to Augmented Reality (Apple has NASA minds working on its AR glasses. An interesting subject.

Another source.

AR is different from VR (virtual reality) because it overlays information on top of your actual field of vision, rather than transporting you to a new world. VR can plunge you to the bottom of the ocean, but AR can turn the people around you into sea creatures, so you don't run into them as you move around.

Electric? Won't the range be limited to the length of the cord?

In the past I had an ultra-light. Nothing gets you back on the ground faster then hearing the engine 'miss' when you're about 600ft.up!
