The next time you hop into your car, you might consider flying this latest invention. Gennai Yanagisawa has invented the world's smallest one-man helicopter.
The GEN H-4 is a 75 kg (165 lbs) aluminum-framed copter with twin rotors powered by two 10hp engines. Each engine has an independent ignition, carburetor,starter and clutch. It can fly with just one engine so the probability of total engine failure is remote. But for added safety, it also comes with a ballistic parachute.
To fly the copter, you take a seat and grab the control bar that is positioned in front of you. The handle bar displays a tachometer, starter and throttle lever.
To fly forward you pull the handle bar towards you. To go backwards you push the handle forward. Move the handle left to fly right and right to fly left. The throttle lever controls the rise and descent. The maximum flight speed is 50 kilometers per hour ( 31 mph).
Yanagisawa is planning a trip to Italy to fly his new invention. It is to honor the inventor Leonardo da Vinci who was the first person to envision the invention of helicopters.
