At 6:23 in, it lands vertically, taxis, and takes off again with a spit of a runway. In less than 20 seconds.
I would love to learn to fly one of these. It would be so exhilarating. So like a bird.

One of these monstrosities flew over my house yesterday making an approach to our local airport. They are incredibly loud even from a great distance. This is because in order to "hover" they must rotate those propellors at high speed. Birdlike is not how I would describe it. It is also a well documented military contract boondoggle that has failed to perform, and has killed many in crashes.
