... and there I was thinking it would be adorned with sequins, hold Barbra Steisand's entire CD back catalogue for the pax and have a massive tail boom covered in piercings...

Ooer, what no freewheel! What happens in the event of homofailure?
In these PC times shouldn't there be a female version?

There is a female version, but it's a bit more like a fixed wing thingy! The rest is too rude!

Will one be required to sport a large Pancho Villa moustache, bikers leathers and pout with indignation when confronted by the owner of a Hetero-Copter? (Or the low flying bumpy chested version, the Carpet-Copter)

Was there actually a patent granted for this steaming pile? Amusment from the title aside, this is a piece of mental masturbation from someone who had obviously spent no time at all studying powered flight, not to mention human-powered flight...

I see it has flapping hinges, but no lead/lag hinges. This could be a problem.
Maybe the inventor should consider the Robinson tri-hinge to eliminate this potential problem.

Ah this is a classic case of the rotor being designed in inches, but made in millimeters. I pity the poor pilot struggling away wondering why he can only generate 15% of the power required to HIGE.

Judging by the tenuous grasp of the English language, (not to mention the even more tenuous grasp of basic physics )displayed in the Patent details,one must assume that the optimist is a foreign national,and given that it's filed in America, together with the name, I believe our transatlantic cousins would appropriately define the patentee as a "whack-job" 
I don't think we want to consider the "turbojet" or "ram jet" versions!
