OK, no, really, THIS is the personal flying machine I want.

I know, I know, I’ve posted about personal flying machines before, but this one is truly the one I want. Why? Because you fly sideways. Nothing makes you feel more like a superhero than flying like the guy in the pic above.
You can go up to 300 mph and 50 miles on a single charge (it’s all electric). That means a total maximum airborne time of six minutes at top speed. See, if you live in the ‘burbs, maybe that doesn’t sound so great: couldn’t make the round trip to/from work maybe. But here in NYC, this thing would be bliss. It’s about ten miles to my campus as the crow flies, but it takes me about 75-90 minutes to get there one way using public transportation. With this baby, I can get to work in minutes!
If I could find a place to park it, that is.
