Very interesting. Gyrocopters have been around for quite a while. An aquaintance of mine was killed in one several years ago in Daytona.

This one is supposed to have a more stable design. It doesn't qualify as an ultralight (+254#), so you will need a pilot's license w/gyro endorsement. Not something the average citizen has.

The site claims that it can be licensed in FL as a motorcycle. I would be concerned about a prop-driven vehicle on the highway... and most prop-driven vehicle are extremely noisy.

Still.... if they show up at Sun-n-Fun this year, I would love to take a demo flight. :)
