This is an adaptive, flapping propeller-driven version of
Leonardo's screw
helicopter.
Come on baby. When you step onto the circular platform
and do an
imitation of the Chubby Checker move, the three
overhead
propellor-tetrahedrons, which are attached to the
platform by
strong pool
noodle type structures, catch the air with you
first twist
and then drag you up onto the sky with your reciprocal
twist.
The contraption turns reciprocating motion into
triangular pistoning
figure 8 strokes based on leverage and adaptive
aerodynamics. The
circular platform has a ships steering wheel structure you
can hold
onto which ke you twist for leverage.
I always enjoy burning some words before breakfast.
Feathers!

I like this very much for a scifi concept lightgravity world personal transport. |

[JHC] I think you may be wildly underestimating the effort needed to become airborne. |

If this actually flew it would be a twist we didn't see coming. |

Swallowing a few of those little pink tablets doesn't seem to demand much effort ... |

Don't forget to contact ATC if you exceed 5000' AMSL. |

Those sky noodles are going to have to work all the different physics actions, with some very innovative play of their inter-relationships. End of the world as we know it ways. |

The important thing is, "Do you feel fine" ? |
