Commuting to Silicon Valley... by Gyroplane
Mercury News colleague Nicole Wong has a notable story about the growing number of people commuting to Silicon Valley in private planes. Worth reading, and checking out this graphic for examples.But a reader named Sean Cooper just contacted us, saying he's built something called a gyroplane (picture inset).We'd like to hear what folk think about his radical idea. Basically Cooper says he commuted to work yesterday (50 miles one way) with this gyroplane. Sure it flies, but it drives too. So he drove it from home to the airport, flew it to his destination airport, and then drove it the rest of the way to work.He says he finished building the gyro about a month ago and that after heated negotiations with the Department of Motor Vehicles to let him register it as both a vehicle and a gyroplane, they have agreed that it can drive on the streets and highways of California.
