"I've got morons on my team." Mitt Romney Minor Deity |
The idea has been around for eons. It's seductive until you really think about a business model, and about the ramifications for flight control systems. Getting cost down to what a normal person might be able to afford requires scale, but the pool of people who might want this is probably a small subset of people with pilots licenses. And then there are all the regulatory barriers. How do you interface with air traffic control? Do you? If you don't, what will the legal ramifications be for the individual, and for firms that have already invested billions when the courts decide to shut them down for a two-year study after one of the devices collides with a passenger plane. | |||
