If it weren't for many of the other problems of helicopters including convenience and noise.

How many helicopters will fit in an IKEA parking lot? And how many will be able to bring back whatever you buy there?

Extend that thought experiment a bit. You might be able to achieve the transportation of people in controlled circumstances, but not much else.

You do realize small ducted fans are an order of magnitude louder than a helicopter, right? All those slick marketing videos omit that part.
