Fly through canyons, dance around clouds, land on skyscrapers, troll some eagles...

That's interesting, I wonder what happens if you take one of the current prototypes and hover off the ledge of a canyon... Will you drop suddenly and go splat, or will you keep altitude? Intuition says the former, but I'd like to know objectively.

If you're flying high enough before going over the cliff, you'd keep hovering... it's no different than a helicopter. These jets can definitely fly that high.

That said, if you're not flying high enough... if it's just the jet pushing air against the ground... you will go splat.

If you include a very effective collision avoidance system, then I'm in.

I'd use it for frickin' everything. Commuting would be so nice without having to sit in traffic.

Eastern Massachusetts rush hours are brutal. Just zoom straight to your destination using an "as the crow flies" route, and rely on the auto-pilot and collision avoidance to take care of the actual steering while you check your email.

20 miles in 12 minutes. Sweet.

I would just be slightly concerned about collisions with birds.

By the way, if fuel is unlimited, then we could have flying restaurants. They'd have names like High Altitude Café, Cloud Starbucks, etc.

Cloud...computing also?
