I'm no expert, but that seems like less of a personal helicopter and more of a flying party bus.

Turns out Orlano Helicopter and Winnebago had the same idea...

There's a few project helicopters in the classifieds: trade-a-plane.com , aviationclassifieds.com

We could start the $200,000 Challenge!

Turbo-LS Swap anyone?

Looks like there's a bed or something where the giant radial engine is supposed to live in that picture.

I think the Bo 105's are what Redbull does back flips with! Sounds like fun

Yeah, I don't think that conversion is going to work out like they think.

Flying cars.  

Combining the worst characteristics of cars and planes for almost 100 years.

I'm disappointed that they didn't name the first model a flying car, the goose. It can fly, harasses everyone on land, hangs out in likeminded social circles, is pretty much a giant shiny happy person, and if keeping with TopGun, the pilot is likely to die.

These Wisk autonomous aircraft look pretty cool: Wisk

They intend to use them as an urban taxi service platform. I like the idea of sky-taxis and autonomous aircraft that have provision for human intervention. My biggest reservation about the concept is that the lower level airspace around major urban areas can already be dangerously congested. Adding in a fleet of small aircraft, carrying passengers that are trying to beat ground traffic, may be a bit optimistic.
