While I agree that darwinization will occur when those who refuse to operate any machinery do so anyway, this is a fact of life that will happen no matter the regulations or self centered snobishness disguised as concern for fellow man. If I can get one of these, I will have the forethought to learn how to not die in the air. I might however consider dropping nasty little parcels at high speed, altitude, and frequency, depending both on the mood of myself and my target, hence the name. hehehehehe. Ain’t I a stinka. If someone says I can’t fly this because I haven’t paid a ridiculous amount of money, then pooh on them.

Cool conept, but the world is not ready for this. YOu don’t even see flying cars in Star Trek which takes place in 2300 + . So to hell with this, it should only be avialable to certified pilots trained in gyrocopters.

I wouldn’t mind having one of these but:
Autogyros have their own inflight stability problems* and using skills learned on fixed wing aircraft or helicopters is a good way to get killed.
*it is possible to flip over top of the rotor, for instance if you unload the blades.
this can be done by accident while trying to recover (reflex) from a stall.

If the price less than $60,000 at first then production costs are under $30,000 after 5 years. I wonder what happen when the price is under $30,000 then start getting possibly getting some idoits off the highway into the air. Just keep my sunroof open incase so to drive away if the person gonna crash into my car lol.

Pilots are just a jealous bunch. Ultralights don’t require licenses and people can fly them. Bring on the flying cars!

Every day people should NOT fly. That said if these were automated flight but could be driven by people then I’m cool with it. Though I’d much rather people couldn’t drive too.
