Of the various drive/fly vehicles that have been proposed, I think this
one makes the most sense.

They’re looking for first customers – you ready?

The only thing I see regarding the engine is that it is a Mazda diesel.
Could it be a rotary?

I'll believe it when I see it fly Al. No stinking small diesel engine
of less than 200 HP is going to make a gyro/motorcycle fly. A 200 HP
diesel is not a light weight engine. Of course gyro's are fun toys but
they are not efficient flying machines for cross country use. I think
even the gyro guys would have to agree with me on that. However it might
be practical in a city commute situation. I can just see swarms,
consisting of millions of these things, in LA during  morning and
evening rush three hours. The sky would darken as if by a swarm
of locust. The sound alone would be impressive. Every few minutes
a couple would fall out of the sky due to an air to air and be
smashed flat on the pavement. Pedestrians would be stepping over them
on their way to work like so much garbage.
