I think that concept is easy arithmetic. If you look at commercial drones, the four propeller design have created a stable platform that makes it easy to use for novices. Ever see those early flying contraptions people thought of before the Wright brothers' first flight? I'm sure whoever that flying car concept belongs to will attempt it. And they'll probably have to innovate to make it more practical. That's really the point.
No since a flying wheel creates angular acceleration which counters the rotor's own angular motion. As I have said it going to be heavy to counter the force though.
Try studying how gyros work. It has nothing to do with the air that drags along with the rotating surface since it works in a vacuum.
The function of a Gyro is very different. It can't take the function of a counter rotating rotor.
Can anyone open this image ???
reportedly the first AVIC AC.352 ... however all I can download is a bit more than half the image !
