If things go as planned there is a personal electric VTOL called the BlackFly about to go on sale to the public in early 2019 for about the price of an SUV. The international model's empty weight is 142kg and it is designed to carry a pilot/payload of 113kg about 60km at a cruise speed of 120km/h which indicates a half hour flight time on its 12kWh battery (the USA version has reduced specs due to regulations). The BlackFly's 8 motors are fixed into a pair of wings, the aircraft tilts rearwards (so the props are horizontal) for takeoff, hovering and lowspeed flight then forwards (vertical props) for highspeed flight using its wings for lift.
It has joystick control, RTH, multiple redundancies and is covered under ultralight regulations so almost anyone could pilot the BlackFly. The inventor, engineer Marcus Leung has been working on his PAV (personal aerial vehicle) for nearly 10 years and I can only assume he has paid careful attention to DJI's products during that time. The big question is has DJI developed something similar to the BlackFly, it would seem like a logical progression although obviously they haven't told us about it yet.
