Feel like you’ve lived a wee bit too long? Looking for a spectacular way out — one that’ll keep your family crying in disgust for years on end?
Well, has Popular Mechanics got a gizmo for you: the personal helicopter. This $30,000, assemble-yourself “Gen H-4″ mini-chopper relies on “two blades on the same axis and rotating them in opposite directions to counteract each other’s torque, eliminating the need for a tail rotor.“
The contraption meets “the FAA’s rules for ultralight aircraft: a top speed of just over 60 mph and a 5-gallon gas tank, for about an hour of flying. That means you don’t need a license to own or fly one.“
Oh, joy!
Pop Mech is also featuring a slightly safer model, just in case you want to take a few trips before the big crash.
