Personal Helicopter Takes you Away From Traffic Jams...

It is every drivers dream! Stuck in a traffic jam? No problem. Simply strap on your personal helicopter and fly away from it all. The personal flying machine, developed in the US is called the Solotrek. The pilot stands up in the machine and flies it using hand controls and by shifting their body weight. The machine has a 4-cylinder engine and is designed to fly at speeds of 120km/hr, with a range of 250km on just one tank of petrol. Should make travelling to work a bit more fun – unless of course it rains!
