Well, time will tell.
The Segway, for all the hype, hasn't really panned out in terms of revolutionizing anything. Now as for treating cardboard for use in some types of aircraft, I think that's an idea that could actually fly, especially for sailplanes and ultralights.

Interesting.
Looks like it really stands a chance of taking off in some poorer countries.
