RE: The head of the PAL-V company will go to a round-the-world travel on the flying car

it's a gyrocopter... different than a "copter" and the main reason... actually the only reason this is not electric is because of range. This thing you can fill up and go 400-500 miles. Batteries are there yet. Also the design of a gyrocopter makes it very safe... on a drone, if a motor goes out, you're done. In a gyrocopter, if the motor goes, it just floats down. Safest way to to fly about!

@edwardseaton Thanks for the info, I didn't know much about it. The way you put it, it seems like a right move to travel on a long range vehicle like this. Also i did not consider it safe at first but you cleared that up.
