And with a cruising speed of 350 miles per hour, the jetpod would be both quicker and quieter than a helicopter.

Maybe, but it can't hover. :ok:

A cunning stunt !!

Add this to the ever lengthening list of people movers that have come and gone without much success - it can't hover, so likening its performance to a helicopter is moot at best.

Good luck to them - they will need it!!

(I'm not really a cynical person - honest :) )

I'll add this to an already long list of 'watch with interest, flight of fancy, never make it to the market' aircraft.
