I've seen, either on Discovery or in some movie, some kind transportation device, which is just a rotor and controls and small platform for the pilot to stand on.

Have you heard of or seen what talking about?

Interesting . . . . No, I haven't. Sounds kinda cool! :D

It would be nice if one could actually get hold of such a device. And since it only consists of foldable blades on the rotor which is connected to an vertical engine and it has a small fuel tank (the size of a motorbike, for example, so that won't be too heavy). And finally a seat/platform with controls for the pilot. Would that do, do you think or is there a lot missing for the thing to work?

Another thought is that it should be collapsable all together so that one wouldn't need a "garage" for it, but instead could take it upp to one's apartment.
