License to Thrill?

The Pivotal BlackFly is a futuristic ultralight aircraft that you can fly with just a joystick—no pilot’s license required! ✈️ That makes it very different from traditional airplanes, which require years of training and a license before you can fly. On one hand, this could make flying much more accessible to everyday people. On the other, some argue it could be dangerous if untrained pilots take to the skies. Should something this powerful really be so easy to use?
