A lot of this sort of thing popping up lately, with some big names behind them. Along with autonomous cars, it seems it might be time for the ubiquitous flyers of Coruscant to leave our imaginations and start to become reality. :ha:

I am wondering what the mission of these vehicles might be, and what it might cost?

Perhaps to ferry wealthy film directors to Wanaka from Christchurch? Oh hang on, there's already an airport there, with plenty of helicopters...

True rich people won't be giving up choppers anytime soon. These are too limited on power and range and people just want to get over a mountain range to an airport to get to their Gulfstream's, these things are ridiculous for that purpose.
