2. There are strict guidelines for where and how to drive, people still get kill by cars everyday.
So in resume:
Fun expensive toy: Yes.
Something useful: Not much.
just pointing out, those requirements aren't just to fly the PAL-V, they're to fly ANYTHING. problem comes in the cost of 6 grand on top of the cost of the Pal-V (EEUU only asks you for a third class medical, but whatever)
his comment wasn't only about the speed, was about the "car" being safe, as in, it won't topside if you try turning at 100KM/H
nowhere near as many people die from flying as people die from driving, but i guess the main reason for that is that the air has a LOT more space, and a LOT less people on it.
this is the kind of things that would really get worse if too many people did it, but what keeps most of them from doing this (or buying a plane) is the same thing, it's pretty freaking expensive.
pretty sure the PAL-V will have to go through the same regulations that most planes do regarding check ups to keep it worthy of flying, and that's expensive too ~_~
