    NASA was second into space and you may have noticed that we haven't been to the moon in years, so draw your own conclusions.

  • It looks like a hippo!

  • vertical takeoff !

  • Very stable hovering, especially in ground effect, interesting concept.

  • A little hard on the landing.

  • I think it's great. Can you even imagine where this WILL take the private plane.
