This is much more feasible with current technology: Flying platforms like Hiller VZ-1 Pawnee. Piloted one way, drone other way

Can be piloted by the passenger on the way in and then can fly back / away / return by being a computer controlled or remote controlled drone. Also can carry things.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiller_VZ-1_Pawneehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgNlumaVPDw via /r/drones https://ift.tt/2Rn1FiN
