Finally! The Flying Car is here.

[Soup?]

I think this is the right place to put this. If not, feel free to shunt it.


Yes, the thread title's correct; The Jetsons have, at long last, been proved truthful.

I give you The Flying Car That Works!

Thoughts, comments and insults welcome.

Sorry, buts not a proper flying machine. Thats a car (sort of) with a fan lifted from a swampboat and a bit of ww2 surplus parachute.

This is what you want!

Looks like the VP of Botswana's ride.


Not exactly a flying car. A cute gimmick car but not a real flying car.

Unlike a light aircraft, potential buyers won?t need a private pilot?s licence to fly a Skycar, just one day?s tuition and a powered parachute licence.

Yeah, until the first serious accident...

Yeah, but that doesn't work.
Despite four decades and a hundred million.

I disagree, if you don't mind.

After all, this is legal on the roads and in the air.

Maybe it's just me.

That is frighting looking, I think I'd rather go with a gyrocopter.

 

[klankymen]

That looks pretty ghetto... I'd rather fly with this flying car:

Nice idea but that's cheating. Landing it would be pretty difficult too, it won't handle like a plane with wings would. I'm thinking of more plummeting.

 

[Spectre]

That's nothing new. Jesse James got a Panoz Esperante to fly. Like, with wings.

No, that's not a Photochop.

 

[MattD1zzl3]

Yea, for something like the first 20 years of powered flight, you didnt need a pilots licence to fly airplanes either.

As they say, aviation regs are written in blood and smashed aluminum

I saw that ep. (2 eps) a few weeks ago.. Brilliant!

What part of "Paul Moller is a lunatic crackpot who's blown all of his investor capital" does no one seem to understand?

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Its powered by rotary engines, so obviously not me

Were the wings, tail section, and expensive aviation-grade engine all 'freebies'?

Actually, you want the CLR, not the CLK-GTR. The GTR never took off, while the CLR...
