It's even got a PH call sign too!

Seriously though it looks well cool, I love the way the prop comes out when spinning up too!

Single seater? Somewhat limited. Being able to carry a decent payload seems to be a problem with all designs so far.

I agree about the carrying weight, it is low, but maybe its something to do with the various Ultra light / experimental aircraft weight requirements which given the extra weight of the drive to the wheels may be having an effect on the overall weight and therefore the carrying capacity, although the site does say there will be others so I guess it will develop if the initial idea catches on.

There does seem to be more than a little bit of influence coming from this http://www.auto-gyro.com/en/Calidus/
