Abstract

A flying arrangement, consisting of at least one flying unit that is able to start vertically and that can accommodate at least one person for flying freely within at least a hall, the boundaries of which prevent a flying unit from leaving the hall.

Claims

1. A flying arrangement, comprising:

a non-pressurized hall;

at least one non-buoyant flying unit comprising;

means for supporting at least one person in the flying unit, and

a lifting unit assembly with control means operable by at least one person in the flying unit to allow the flying unit to start vertically and to fly freely within the hall without risking damage to any flying units in the hall or harm to persons in the flying units and without requiring the at least one person in the flying unit to have flight experience or training;

wherein said hall comprises at least one boundary operative to prevent said at least one flying unit from exiting the hall;

wherein the hall comprises multiple flying zones defined by at least one hall boundary; and

wherein the flying arrangement further comprises a remote control operative to overrule the control means of the at least one flying unit when the flying unit approaches a hall boundary to prevent the flying unit from colliding with said boundary.

2. The flying arrangement of claim 1, wherein the remote control is further operative to overrule the control means of the at least one flying unit when the flying unit attempts to exit a circumscribed area of the hall to prevent the flying unit from leaving the circumscribed area.

3. The flying arrangement of claim 1, wherein the hall boundary is an electronic wall such that electronic means constrict the flying unit to fly freely within a predetermined zone.

4. The flying arrangement of claim 1, wherein the hall boundary is an electronic wall such that electronic means prevent the flying unit from exiting the hall.

5. A flying arrangement, comprising:

a non-pressurized hall;

at least one non-buoyant flying unit comprising;

means for supporting at least one person in the flying unit, and

a lifting unit assembly with control means operable by at least one person in the flying unit to allow the flying unit to start vertically and to fly freely within the hall without risking damage to any flying units in the hall or harm to persons in the flying units and without requiring the at least one person in the flying unit to have flight experience or training;

wherein said hall comprises at least one boundary operative to prevent said at least one flying unit from exiting the hall; and

wherein the hall boundary is an electronic wall such that electronic means constrict the flying unit to fly freely within a predetermined zone.

6. The flying arrangement of claim 5, wherein the hall comprises multiple flying zones defined by at least one hall boundary.

7. The flying arrangement of claim 5, wherein the electronic means prevent the flying unit from exiting the hall.

8. The flying arrangement of claim 5, further comprising a remote control operative to overrule the control means of the at least one flying unit when the flying unit approaches a hall boundary to prevent the flying unit from colliding with said boundary.

9. The flying arrangement of claim 8, wherein the remote control is further operative to overrule the control means of the at least one flying unit when the flying unit attempts to exit a circumscribed area of the hall to prevent the flying unit from leaving the circumscribed area.

10. A flying arrangement, comprising:

a non-pressurized hall;

at least one non-buoyant flying unit comprising;

means for supporting at least one person in the flying unit, and

a lifting unit assembly with control means operable by at least one person in the flying unit to allow the flying unit to start vertically and to fly freely within the hall without risking damage to any flying units in the hall or harm to persons in the flying units and without requiring the at least one person in the flying unit to have flight experience or training;

wherein said hall comprises at least one boundary operative to prevent said at least one flying unit from exiting the hall; and

wherein the hall boundary is an electronic wall such that electronic means prevent the flying unit from exiting the hall.

11. The flying arrangement of claim 10, further comprising a remote control operative to overrule the control means of the at least one flying unit when the flying unit approaches a hall boundary to prevent the flying unit from colliding with said boundary.

12. The flying arrangement of claim 11, wherein the remote control is further operative to overrule the control means of the at least one flying unit when the flying unit attempts to exit a circumscribed area of the hall to prevent the flying unit from leaving the circumscribed area.

13. The flying arrangement of claim 10, wherein the hall comprises multiple flying zones defined by at least one hall boundary.

14. The flying arrangement of claim 13, wherein the electronic means constrict the flying unit to fly freely within a predetermined zone.
