The jump to a standard helicopter is intimidating enough for many people. And although the safety statistics of the transport method have improved in recent years, these figures are generally focused on very reinforced vehicles with the latest navigation technologies. Knowing this, no one would blame you to never sit inside a SCH-2A MIROCOPTER.
Although this cannot look like, the SCH-2A is in fact in American standards of federal aviation regulations for an ultra-light air vehicle, with a reservoir of five gallons offering approximately one hour of travel to around 50 mph. The 249 LB platform is propelled by a two-stroke fiate gas engine capable of providing its rotors with more than 60 horses at 5,800 rpm. But there is no doubt that his only occupant attached inside the bolted bucket seat in a metal setting at birth bus looks … a little exposed.
And yet, that has not prevented Youtuber Mark Rumsey from spending in recent months to document his recent excursions over California in his own friend SCH-2A. In a video, Rumsey presents a brief 6.5 miles from Cresta to Lake Elsenore to around 28 miles east of Irvine. In another clip, the pilot managed to reach more than 60 knots, around 70 mph.
The videos are not for the weakness of the heart, but in some respects, it seems that Mirocopter makes all these other flying car companies that lack comparison. Despite all their promises of imminent air taxi services, the SCH -2A already allows its drivers the possibility of avoiding congestioned roads – at least for anyone who dared enough.
