Very cool little craft.

It would be awesome to see someone coming out with inexpensive, super safe helo's.

There is a version of that without a pod structure.

The original prototype was a compound helicopter with 2 pusher engines/props. IIRC, it topped out at 130kts. Official site is at http://www.helicycle.com/
