    At the end of October 2011, Thomas Senkel of e-volo had completed a series of unmanned tests and was ready for the first manned flight on an airstrip in the southwest of Germany. The flight lasted one minute and 30 seconds, after which the constructor and test pilot stated:
    "The flight characteristics are good natured. Without any steering input it would just hover there on the spot".
    This could be the future of flight, piloting a device as simple as a car.
