Boeing is sponsoring the GoFly Prize
We’re calling on all inventors and doers to make human flight a reality by building the world’s first personal flying device for anyone, anywhere. Over the next two years, teams will compete to win $2,000,000 in prizes, creating revolutionary technology and accessing the top minds in aerospace.
(Full announcement is at GoFly Launches Competition to Bring Personal Flying Devices to the Masses: Boeing to Sponsor $2 Million, Two-Year International Incentive Competition – Boeing (pdf)).
There are certainly no shortage of individuals and companies building such devices:
