I’ve always wanted one of these.
Yes, they have certain drawbacks, but I have to believe they’re safer than gyrocopters. And before someone make a “Oh the Humanity!” comment, please note that 62 of the 97 passengers and crew of the Hindenberg survived. Not many fiery jetliner crashes can claim that kind of survival ratio!
Maybe a thermal airship is the way to go. Easier to store (fold it up when you’re done) and you get to save on the helium costs. Here’s one for sale for $85k. Less than a Tesla!
