I like it, but the price is absolutely ridiculous.
Maybe if they could mass produce them for 5,000 or less, but 40,000, really?

Wow, what a waste of money! You can buy a decent gas powered helicopter for about 1000$ US. It will have better speed, stay in the air longer, and have better lifting capacity. Most of the cost of this thing comes from it's "superior" battery technology that requires everything attached to it to be super light. You could even jam a cell phone in it for control and get practically unlimited range.
Dang.

1500ft range? Thats pathetic... A pair of thermal goggles for the officers would have been more efficient.
