The big problem is "rollover" which is a self evident problem, they claim to have made a simple advance which helps prevent that, simple in the sense of not overly electronic. This is great because it means that if it can work conceptually, any tech added on will only improve a good idea, and not replace it.

I was looking at a cover of a 1950's science mag the other day, and there was a flying bike, shouldn't think it so hard?
As to them, less said the better. Give it to the daredevil crowd :D
