Interesting how true this must be. We've heard promise of practical personal flying machines for decades, usually complete with artists renditions or renders, but few have seemed to materialize yet.
Ultralights are probably the closest, fairly cheap and requiring little infrastructure. Just a seat with a big fan attached to a parachute really.
Even these though take a surprising amount of work to be able to operate safely.
- savrajsingh 15y agoIconaircraft.com is a realistic attempt at making flight more widely available. They are designing their aircraft around the "sport flight" rules of recent years, which mean you need less training but you can only fly in good conditions. They haven't shipped yet, however.
