$200,000 to $400,000.\u00a0 One can get a used Learjet for that, although it does require the drudgery of obtaining a pilot\u2019s license \u2013 and an advanced one at that.\u00a0 At a more practical level, the e-Gull from Mark Bierele, the ULS from Randall Fishman, or the EMG-6 from Brian Carpenter offer better range for far less money \u2013 and each allows personal control of the vehicle. \u00a0They&#8217;re not VTOL, but don&#8217;t need huge tracts of land for their operations.<\/p>\n<p>This ever-increasing idea of what is &#8220;affordable&#8221; keeps taking flying\u00a0away from what otherwise would be a General Aviation market. \u00a0The gadgetry is nice, but simplified and generally understandable systems might lure a broader range of buyers into making a purchase. \u00a0A bigger range of customers will help bring lower prices and even greater acceptance.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EHANG 184 Launch Video from CES2016\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\"

this\u2014the Ehang 184 can be controlled entirely through a mobile app. In fact, Ehang says passengers only have to execute two commands: \u2018take off\u2019 and \u2018land.\u2019 Once you\u2019ve set your course, the Ehang 184 will take off vertically, and use real-time sensor data (and presumably GPS) to keep you on course. \u201c<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10695\" style=\"width: 538px\"
