The AirScooter II, though, is designed for people. It weighs around 300 pounds and doesn’t require a pilot’s license, according to the company’s Web site. The company is seeking regulatory approval but has said it expects to release the product this year.

The AirScooter II has two rotors that function in a similar fashion to helicopter rotors, but the vehicle is easier to fly, advocates say. It sports motorcycle-style handlebars that contain flight controls, but there are no pedals–so people without the use of their legs should be able to operate it, according to the Web site. The company also offers a movie of the device in flight (click here to download the video).

The article says that “It doesn’t require a pilot’s license to fly it.” I am not sure how is the law in Malaysia? Personally, I don’t dare to fly like this. It looks like helicopter without shield. A New.com blogger says, “the flying cars aren’t likely to become a reality anytime soon.“
