Helicopters already resemble dragonflies as is, but the Igarashi Single-Person helicopter is even more like an insect, both in profile and from the front. This robotic insect cum transformer-like flying machine is a concept design by Yutaka Igarashi. Is is sure to be popular amongst people who are keen to beat rush hour traffic! You’ll need a helicopter license if you want to travel in this as there is no other person to fly it but you!

Igarashi is actually a Japanese sawmill worker who designs pretty amazing concept machines including his latest motorcycle design.

Needs 2 person model, 4. Radical. Darn that pilots lisc. Great for over HI, AZ, areas with IMAX mini camera mount or Webcam Live TV. Cool. Search & Rescue, Survey use.

I prefer flying helicopter prototypes any day to just concept vehicles. Of course, it opens up our mind to the possible future of flight and what can happen if we allow our imagination to translate from our ind onto paper. Hope he can come up with something of practical use.
