Personal Helicopter Available For $30,000

Posted by timothy on from the thwop-thwop-thwop dept.

gsfprez writes "The question was recently asked on /., "will personal flight ever be viable?". The answer is "if you have $30,000 today, yes". They are looking to work with Americans who will be willing to help them with testing a few final steps of their GEN H-4 Personal Helicopter, such as ballistic parachutes. $30,000 to beta test a helicopter I can park in the garage? Honey, pass me 5 credit cards!"

    From the faq:
    Q : Does it fly?
    A : Yes, This particular prototype has been flown continuously since 1999.

    I pity the poor SOB who's been stuck flying that thing for 3 "continuous" years.
