Not talkin helicopters. More along the lines of UFO alien vehicle type designs that use micro jet engines for lift. Only need it to fit 1 person in cockpit with glass dome for windshield and instrument reading board to hold portable gps system and CB radio. Preferably a more modern design. Doesn’t have to b proffesional evn a picture will do. No design is stupid. * all design welcome example=

I have two controls, 1 controls the stabilization engine and the other one controls the 2 engines for thrust
When you push forward on the thrust controller they go from pointing straight down to pointing forward or backward – if you move the control left or right it moves the engines in either direction
The Other engine is for stabilizing /keeping it from crashing on takeoff
and has a separate control
ALL three microjet engines used in takeoff

You’re in the wrong place to be looking for Aeronautical Engineers.

Not micro engines. It takes a lot of fuel and a lot of force to go straight up. You need to look at designs (and crashes) of jet VTOL designs. Keeping the balance will require computer control and sensors, even more so in a small craft compared to the wide training rig used to train the astronauts in using the thrusters on the moon lander.
