March 26, 20251 yr Most impressive Jetson flight demonstration yet. Astonishing, really. So stable. No hands hover. Edited March 26, 20251 yr by martin-w
March 27, 20251 yr That's really cool. However, I can see an issue with noise pollution. This thing is really loud, and I don't think people would be happy with someone flying these things near their houses at only a hundred feet off the ground. I also don't think the aviation and govt. authorities are going to license people to fly these things to the grocery store or work and back, either. Certainly, rescue services, law enforcement, and the military could use them.

March 27, 20251 yr Yes, I so look forward to a world in which all I hear, all day long, every day, is a loud, buzzing sound coming from the skies. Interesting technology and I can see some useful applications, but not as a mode of personal transportation.

March 29, 20251 yr Author Yeah, it's a noisy little guy. This idea the company seem to have of "the skies for all" is an unlikely scenario. There's a number of possible uses, military, getting paramedics into tricky locations, wealthy persons toy, and also the scenario I posted a video about recently. Namely a guy that uses the Blackfly to access his mountain top home, avoiding a long drive up and down a mountain road. But we aren't going to see these landing in our supermarket car parks. The bigger guys, like the Joby, used as short range taxi, is a different proposition. We will see a plethora of those guys.

March 31, 20251 yr With airspace becoming more restricted you're going to clearance to fly this. Or risk being shot down. Raymond Fry.

March 31, 20251 yr Neat but this will bring with it many issues. More laws and regulation will quickly come into play.
