They use a 70 hp engine to give forward thrust and the helicopter type rotors on top act as a wing when the forward motion causes them to spin. Takeoff is not vertical but it is considerably shorter than you'd expect.
I have always wondered, if you flew one of these about a foot over the freeway pavement if the police can still charge you for speeding:)
Why do people insist on proving that they are idiots! Constantly! Why is Mandrake still advertising Mandrake 7.0 when 7.1 has been out for weeks? Why would I want to punch the damn monkey? Why is there a special Linux PPPoE module for Sympatico Canada? Why didn't anyone like Dilberitos? Why do I have to have Win98,2000 on my laptop just to make a living when Linux will do just fine thank you? Why does it hurt when I put my hand on a lit barbeque? Can I have 8 drives on an Ultra DMA 66 Motherboard? Can I go sailing now?

Personal flying craft have been around awhile. Take a look at the Bensen B8M at http://www.prismz.com/bensen/. Incidentally, I have one of these in kit form which has yet to be assembled if you want one.
