Here’s something we can all get behind: levitating chairs for the elderly that scoot around like bumper cars. There is no way this can go badly. More »
We’ve been promised flying cars in sci-fi for so long, we’ve forgotten that by god, we’re owed them. This “Transition” aircraft is a pretty decent first step, but we’ve got a ways to go.
I don’t know whether or not the “world’s smallest” title is truly valid, but the Hover-Q indoor infrared controlled hovercraft is definitely small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. The flexible skirt lift system can be inflated in a second, it has forward, right and left control, and the IR control doubles as a charger (although there is no info on how long a charge will last). Nonetheless, it seems like a pretty decent deal at $US34—especially since toys like this routinely go for $US50 or more.
