But ... I don't live by a lake!
SF might have an interest, though, if it's not too noisy.

M PN11,
The things seem ro be able to vertical take off and land on terra firma. But I can see
the advantage of flying over open water in event of power failure !
If the things could be made reliable (or carry a parachute), they might have a future.
Rather glad I will not (hope not to) live to see it !
Suggested applications ?
Danny.

Danny it does say it has engine redundancy built in, I can see it having it uses for rapidly moving people ashore or ship to ship, and the automatous litter for flying wounded off the battlefield to rear treatment areas seems a sensible idea
Visibility of overhead telephone wires, power lines etc would surely be a problem for anyone on a mission.

Remember Danny they are buying into the technology, by the time a militarised version appears one would imagine it will be bigger, safer, and have a greater range and payload.
