Smaller, faster, able to fly longer- still not exactly advanced though?
I suppose minimising chances of catastrophic mechanical failure is an advance - but where are the Speeder Bikes?
It's nearly 35 years since that dude flew at the 84 Olympics and the options are:
Something that is inherently unsafe (see COD4 wing/fuselage rule for Gyros)
Something with a lifting area so large it becomes no fun (OP's)
Balancing on a turbine with an explosive mixture strapped to your back (pass)
