Kind of wonder how practical it is, what kind of range could this get at such a speed and with energy spent reaching that altitude. I can’t imagine it has a large fuel tank, not to mention the difficulty of flying it in thin atmosphere (is there room for an oxygen tank or concentrator?)

Given the modern design I’d be more impressed if it could run on something more sustainable than petroleum, though I doubt it could handle the burden of heavy batteries so electric would be out of question.

So better than a helicopter then, at least you can wear a parachute…
Wow, a jedi copter.
