A machine cooler than a motorcycle?

Cool but that would probably require serious regulation and license requirements.

People have a hard enough time on the ground with cars.
Not a good idea.

The Air Force tried similar designs (back in the 50's I think) and the big downfall is during landing you have no visual reference for where the ground is. That design looks like it would have a little better vision on landing but in flight if you're lying horizontal it gets hard to look forward then. Looks fun but still needs work I think.

Mount a minigun on one side and a couple of Stinger missiles on the other side and I might just be interested.
