6-Foot Walk-on-Water Ball This giant inflatable sphere lets you walk across water thanks to exterior inset cups that help “grip” the surface as you climb the ball’s interior.
I saw something similar last year at an engineering competition, that was being developed for the military. If I remember correctly, they are really loud, but those may be different. The ones in the video have two blades, while the micro choppers I saw were single bladed, but with a rear rudder wheel.
I’ve seen smaller purchasable helicopters… also they have a flying time of only 1-2 minutes or so :p
I second what Delta said, my friend had something very simlar to this, except the body looked like a helicopter. BUt it had the two propellers.
It was fun. You did have to keep charging it.

This would be fun.

Has anybody found a store that sells these world wide?
Nope, but apparently this place will be selling them in the UK:
