New Hover Vehicle Recalls ‘Star Wars’ Bike

Looks like a  smallerized and modernized Piasecki VZ-8 Airgeep.

So far the test flights seem to be at altitudes of inches. But if it can be made reliable and practical to fly these things at respectable altitudes, I think they might have themselves a market. Especially if they can be made so that they can fit in the back of a truck, or on a reasonable trailer. Such things would open up a whole new world for nature photographers in the mountains, hikers, campers, hunters, and those who need to go rescue ’em.
