Prop-driven ground vehicles have been around for a long time - they are not only dangerous, they are noisy, horribly inefficient, and have crappy acceleration.
totally useless design. It's not road legal with the exposed prop driving it in ground mode, very very dangerous for pedestrians. so it can never be registered to drive on public roads!! its just a gyrocopter with a sturdier undercarriage, I don't see much innovation here, why is it given a patent??
i have to agree it would be good and cool to launch off roads and such, it could redesign our road ways completely, eg instead of motor ways we have runway 12 or runway 16, it shouldn't be that expensive though, thats more expensive than an untralight aircraft
he didn't say anything about parachuting. the rotors are "unpowered" which means the engine doesn't turn them, the wind does, so even without the engine, the rotors spin.. engine goes dead, it floats down..
aside from that, i still think he's an idiot, and it will never be a commercially viable product. they've been trying this since the 50's
a three wheeled motorcycle?! WTF is he talking about!! motorcycles dont have 3 wheels. i would still buy this trike if i had the spare £££. evry cool still
its called a autogyro how can you patent something thats been around for 60 yrs plus did you never see you only live twice (james bond) little nelly lol

useless, you know how any permits you will need before you can even ride/fly it, waste of time. i doubt you can just jump over traffic.

Your 50 years too late this was invented in the UK by a man called Wallis.
I suppose the next thing you will be saying is Lindberg was the first to fly a plane across the Atlantic.

A variation of a gyrocopter

This is a stupid invention becuause in a normal motorcycle u dont NEED to jump over traffic cos its small enough to fit through the gaps.

Read some comments on youtube and then ask yourself if you really wanna see these people airborne at rush hour. Happy oil pressure.

Would the dmv or the faa allow this thing to be on public roads, or anywhere near residential areas?
