The best way to make the perfect machine is to face a list of things that seem impossible and try to solve them I know this sounds naive or maybe stupid to some but on the other hand we might learn something new here is a list of problems that needs to be overcome in order to have the dream VTOL :
1-Noiseless :
This device should cause no disturbance for others when used so it is suitable for urban use.
2-Electric:
In order to use this device anywhere for example inside buildings it should be pollution free.
3-Compact:
By compact I mean mobile as a matter of fact as mobile as your backpack so it should fit in there or something that could be folded and put under your desk comfortably while being charged until you get off work and absolutely no need for a parking space.
4-Long range:
Every body’s definition of long is different but let’s say 200 miles.
5-Safe:
A backup system is a must and it should be stable and easy to get rid off on high altitude in case of a total failure
6-Easy to fly:
Easy enough for a person without a driving license to maneuver and doesn’t require a lot of physical effort and suitable for ladies.
7-Entertaining:
The feel of rush should never die out unlike enjoying a new car for a while then becoming boring and finally fulfill our very old desire of flying and stop thinking too much about engineering problems and math and start exploring earth from up there.
8-Practical:
To be used on daily basis for commuting.
9-High performance:
Now this is important it has to move fast, stop fast and take off instantly and make sharp turns all of that without compromising safety. It has to convince any supercar owner to give up his ride and replace it with a device as small as his rare windshield.
10-Low maintenance:
Most aircrafts require so much work on the ground before take off some of them spend hours and hours more in maintenance than flying.
11-Built in small units that could be coupled together for more payload:
Just like a Lego attach more to each other and you have a heavy lifter to transport larger payloads.
12-Affordable :
Ok here is where it gets tricky. However if you can afford a low performance motorcycle you should be able to get this. NOT more than $1500.
13-Suitable for the physically challenged:
Flying will make more sense if it could solve more problems so it should be suitable for the physically challenged no matter what is their injury / condition and give them more mobility and independency and replace the bulky wheelchair.
14-Multipurpose:
By this I mean that it could be used just for quietly hovering as low as few inches to move in parks next to your buddy that is cycling or take off vertically fast and perform tricks only advanced helicopters do.
15-No or a little downwash:
No need to stay away from the person who is using this device while landing and no clearance distance needed.
16-Attractive and sleek:
It has to look cool a sort of eye music.
