Exactly!! Totally real but it's too expensive to go mainstream and to be quite honest other than a toy, it's not really practical.

by the look of the outfit... makes me think if this thing ever does become mainstream, it'll be like motorbikes... just toys for the summer (and a single person form of transportation)

yet its not gonna go mainstream because if there is a critical failure you have nowhere to go but down and go splat against the ground. sadly enough but it would be so cool :D

^ exactly haha

What us pilots say:

"I'd rather be on the ground wishing I was in the air, than be in the air wishing I was on the ground."
