On October 21st, 2011, Thomas Senkel of e-volo made the first manned flight with an electric multicopter (VTOL), the so called volocopter VC1, at an airstrip in the southwest of Germany. The flight lasted 90 seconds, after which the constructor and test pilot stated: "The flight characteristics are good natured. Without any steering input it would just hover there on the spot". This could be the future of aviation, piloting a device as easy as a car.

NASA wouldn't be interested, this is only useful where there is a heavy atmosphere, and the atmospheres on mars or the moon are too light (more than 10,000 times that of the earth), so the blades have nothing to push against. Basically, planes only work on earth ^^

I'd be very surprised if NASA isn't interested; but maybe they will just nick the idea and modify it knowing them! It would be small enough to pack away and deploy somewhere like the Moon or Mars.
