Oh yeah. I wonder what it will look like and perform like once the NTSB and FAA and other regulatory agencies start to write regs for it. Then there will be the greenies screaming about the noise and air pollution.

Air Motorcycle is really a misnomer...  A cycle is a device with wheels. A MOTORcycle is a device with wheels and a motor.  Calling this a flying motorcycle is akin to calling a seadoo a floating motorcycle.  This device is a PFC (Personal Flying Craft).

And take my flipping money...

I'll bet it's glide ration is a little lacking.

I would not want to be on that thing when an engine fails or runs out of gas.

That would probably never be approved for flight over populated areas.

Yup!  You definitely want a parachute!

And you have to be high enough to use the parachute. And then that hunk of metal just going to crash on whatever below.

The risks are acceptable!
