Average weights (no median, sorry) from the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/body-measurements.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/body-measurements.htm):
>Men: 195.7 pounds
>Women: 168.5 pounds
So this could carry an average man, average woman, and under 36 pounds. At that point, the weight of your clothing or a bottle of wine becomes very important.
- throwawayjava 9y agoYes, I did say healthy, which a good half of the USA isn't. but that still implies a 100m person market, just in the USA, and people in other developed countries tend to be closer to the "healthy" range. There are lots of healthy people out there. In short, I don't think this will be the make-or-break for flying cars...
- cryptoz 9y ago> a 100m person market No, not really. Only extremely wealthy people can buy this. It's more like a 10,000 to 100,000 person market in the US I would guess.
