Innovation still is occurring.

Interesting concept. Sounds like something right out of the Jetson's. Well automobiles, airplanes, and personal computers where thought to be non-starters. Who's to say what the future holds.
I'd want one.
Except for the special interests and regulation zealots there would already be many of them and the price would be much more affordable. I hope someday to see it. I would love to have one. I would like to see the range increased, the ability to take manual control, increase size and seating to at least two passengers and allow at least some minimal luggage capacity.
Thank's for bringing this to us.

I have often wondered why we don't have private, lighter than air ships available to the public. Imagine something a bit more sophisticated than this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D63P...
Increase the size enough to allow for an enclosed cockpit for two plus some luggage and add a proper power/propulsion source. Looks like fun to me.
With a compressor and a tank you could deflate the envelope and re-inflate at will, allowing for compact storage.

Lately I've been thinking of a hover craft with flying capability, powered by a conventional gas or diesel motor the size of an SUV...should be cheaper to build than this little thing.
Thought of it while reading the post on "The last big frontier"...wouldn't even need a drive way...and makes No tracks to be tracked.
The next new innovation of automobiles should go for 1000's of miles.
Give em credit for the effort though.
Who predicted that the future would revolve around computers? We of the 50s talked about space, flying cars, and while the Jetsons were a cartoon, they also reflected our view of the future. Instead we have phones that are computers and cameras and a watch all in one. The age of information and communication topped off by social media.
If there were some way to get this coupling over distance, it would be amazing.
