Say what you like about the Soviets, they still had ingenious engineers. Take a look at this helicopter. It's practically something you can shove inside your suitcase after you fly yourself to work. I mean, it literally only takes 10 minutes unfold to it.
The beautiful thing about it is that it ran on car fuel. Gassing this baby would probably take minimal effort. Too bad it was never actually flown — there wasn't a rotary piston engine found for it.
Still, why is it that I get the feeling that if this helicopter were ever to be taken seriously, it would revolutionize the world of transportation? Just a feeling, like I said.

personal helicopters have been around for a while. Rotax makes several sizes of 2-stroke gasoline engines for home-brew heli's to paragliders. (Paragliders have several models that actually DO fit in a suitcase.)
