    They need just a "small" step to do the first flight. This was nice levitation I can do with my old bicycle if I have money to buy one turbine. Ok, it was the first try ever recorded and it counts. :-)

    Very cool.  Can't see anyone ever getting hurt with one of those.

    Is the turbine being used as a generator to run the electric motors?  I don't see the point.  If you thought lipos were flamable........

    I think it could be made to fly, I was looking at a older JetCat thinking about this as a powerplant however still think a horizontally oppossesd 2 box will do better.

    "Flight" might be a slight exaggeration...

    Its was done in 2007 and only flew for 6 min... Burned 1lb of fuel per min...

    Not an efficient idea
