For the past couple of years the world’s top space program NASA has been working on a future design for the very first personal flying suit. The puffin, as they call it, measures to be approximately 12 feet in length with a 15 foot wingspan. The aircraft module would land vertically, allowing for a person to step directly into it and has blades similar to that of helicopters. The puffin concept would relatively light weight and would use electric motors, allowing for high altitudes as well as being eco-friendly.
Now to another note: is the Puffin concept practical for consumer use? Highly unlikely, or at least not for a long time. First of all, this type of flying suit would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, so not many people would ever get to use one, as least for quite some time. Secondly, if this flying suit were to take the place of automobiles, modern travel would be extremely chaotic and the number of fatalities would drastically increase. Any type of mechanical failure or collision with another flying suit would be devastating and regulating travel would be nearly impossible. Yes, the idea is magnificent and I think most of us would like to have an experience like this someday, so hopefully this type of future technology will be able to advance, thanks to NASA.
honestly i think this personal flying suit is such a great innovation, however, this new 'thing' might cause bad effect especially towards the environment.

In my personal thinking, this personal flying suit have just make a new impact in the era of advancement technologies if it is to be produced. Although we hear negative comments of this personal flying suit to the society even before this gadget is bring produce but we all should think what positive impact this gadget can bring to the human life. Nowadays, with this world congested with cars and other vehicles, this personal flying suit is must to have gadget - can bring people to their destination in a short time even in a safer journey. However, this superb gadget must undergo serious research and study before it can be used so that it can create less harm and bring more benefit to the society.
