Having trouble with the links on Duck Duck Go, so I can’t see how big this thing is.
That being said, perhaps our flying cars will be dirigibles? /humor off

It’s been on BB before; IIRC, it’s about the size of a people carrier.

I, personally, don’t care for France but, damn, now I have a reason to go there. That looks like so much fun!

The catch is that they charge you €60 to fly the Aéroplume, but once you’re up there they charge an additional €600 if you want to come down again.

If I’m up there long enough they will be happy to get me down.

the parachute is only €100 tho, so if you plan ahead it’s not too bad. and the boots with springs in the heels are practically free

I fantasized about owning a one-person blimp when I was a kid, but envisioned it with bicycle-powered propeller.
