World's smallest helicopter

The GEN H-4 Personal helicopter brings the old sci-fi idea of a individualized jetpack to life.

We look forward to testing on May 25th.

Amazingly enough, even before this test flight, the helicopter is on sale for the relatively modest (by aviation standards) price of $58,250. They have sold six units, two here in the USA.

With a top speed of 31mph, I'm not sure how useful this thing is, but I salute the brave and slightly masochistic people who decide to purchase it.
