Apologies if this has already been discussed but this is outright bonkers..also the coolest/most dangerous thing I've ever seen in my life..
They let people drive cars. So how dangeous can it be !
Might be good for the rescue services and such like.
What's the sticky out bit at the front?
Apart from the cloud of noxious gas, that looks absolutely brilliant! I'd love a shot of that, if be absolutely awful but it would be brilliant.
It’s like that thing they did a few years back with a ‘medic’ flying up a hill in the lakes
Looks cool, dangerous as **** from a failure perspective
Moderately priced too.

Think that's some kind of stabiliser, it's a weak point in the design if you ask me. I remember seeing a documentary way back when a similar device to this was getting trialled. Basically the guy was riding it through a forest minding his own business and some angry rambler with a light sabre cut it off, sending the poor chap flying into a tree
Some real dickheads about..
Maybe it is the refuelling solution, so you don't need to land!
It left a lovely set of scorch marks on the plywood.
It's noisy
Has loads of down draft.
Maybe they should fly it over the sea instead of woodland.
Don't be a dick comes to mind.

Probably does no more damage than a scally on a dirt bike. And at a million quid a pop I doubt we'll need to be worrying about then environmental impact for a while yet..
When do we get to order it from AliExpress? It'll be 80 quid and a 3 week delivery time...
Nearly a million $ for a flying BBQ, what a time to be alive
Horrible idea! Far too noisy, stinks to high heaven, totally unsuitable for any sort of environment other than urban.
An electric equivalent may be more appealing, though. A million quid? Well, think of it as a useful tool for culling the excessively rich and irredeemably stupid!
Ride-on leafblower.
Who knew you could make solo flight so dull?
Compare to even the cheapest alternatives… glider… microlight… whatever…
And the plywood landing pad? Priceless.
Could you not just bolt a few drones together instead?
