A Single-Seater Helicopter Design

Tags: Automobiles, chopper, Concept, Helicopter, Igarishi Design, Learn To Fly, transport

Ever wondered what its like to have your own helicopter and watch all the fun from the top? Well, now you could go ahead and buy a helicopter for yourself, thanks to a concept designed by Igarishi Design. However, you will need to wait till the concept gets manufactured.

This private helicopter is a single seater, which means you will need to know how to fly a helicopter before you try flying one. The flyer may need to know the basics of physics and chemistry and how the technology works as well. You obviously wouldn’t be able to fly it without any training.

The design strangely reminds me of a weird alien craft and looks pretty cool. It is small and worth trying, if you think you can fly your own helicopter. Moreover, it isn’t everyday you find a design where a helicopter looks like an alien robot or craft and is meant for a single passenger. I hope it gets manufactured soon!
