Ever wanted to just jump in your own helicopter and zip across the sky to grab a quick coffee with your buddy?
With the SureFly personal helicopter from Workhorse, that might not be such a ridiculous fantasy.
With a price of around $200,000, this beast is a lot less expensive than a traditional helicopter.

I was wondering when this will finally happen, as it is something I anticipated years ago.
But then again, $200k seems a bit steep for a sized-up quadcopter with a cabin...
This Hover Bike thingie promises similar for much less (around $48k)...
It is essentially a dual propeller hovercraft. Early specs I read somewhere talked about 170 miles per hour travel, and max altitude of 3 km / 10k feet. Perfect for avoiding rush hour traffic. :)
I don't think a lack of cabin would be perceived as a big minus (safety wise at least - you are dead anyhow if you drop from few dozen meters or higher), and you wouldn't go fly in bad weather anyhow. But it might have a strong appeal for motorcycle drivers...
Can't wait when their webshop at http://www.hover-bike.com will start accepting orders...
Would you want one?
I am wondering whether countries will ban usage or insist on having a full pilot's licence :)
