	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Ah, I just read the title, assumed the reference was to standard hovercraft, and rushed off my last post. Whoops.
If we're really talking about something like miniature planes, which seems to be the case, there couldn't be a traffic jam as such; planes need to stay moving to stay in the sky, right? Maybe some kind of helicopter would do the trick, though the energy expenditures involved sound ridiculous and ultimately pointless, at least to me.

The article said at first when they are in limited production for military use and special order, the cost would be around 500,000. But after they go into mass production, their volume would allow the price to drop to around $60,000 to $80,000, as much as a luxury or high performance vehicle.
