Flying Car Certified to Fly, Paving Way for Mass Production of ‘Very Efficient Flying Cars’

Didn't he bring us the Yugo

The yugo... now that was the absolute bare minimum for a "transport vehicle" jesus they were bad. I wouldn't ride in one even under the piss poor safety regs available in the 80s.

Those wings do look a bit stubby for that body mass and power delivery

I have no doubt the vehicle would fly just fine.

I'm talking about the legions of idiots trying to fly them. It would be a bloodbath, and they'd likely kill so many more than just themselves...

Just wondering what the stall speed is on that one

Just can’t see this. I realize they say you would have to have a pilot’s license but there seems to be a lot of potential for serious consequences when an accident happens.

SA-23 Giant??

What I see is a plane with a wing that will not allow slow flight or short takeoff/landings. That means it is a airport runway only aircraft. While it may go from point A to B airports, what is the point? With the wings folded, where are you going to park it when you get where you’re going? What you have is a vehicle that is so compromised to allow for both modes, it will be lousy at both. A lot of personal aircraft pilots fly when it makes sense and there’s this thing called rental cars at the airport.

Most airports that I fly into will hand you the keys to a courtesy car for free, as long as you buy a few gallons of fuel for the plane. No need to drive the plane into town for a burger. I have been given the keys to everything from the mechanics old F-150, to a fairly new BMW. I would rather have a sexy airplane and borrow a junk car when I get there. Solid pass on the lousy combo car plane thingy.

No. Actually it is a trick image - that's Onyks, a supersonic sea skimming anti-ship missile. Nice image, same launch dynamics (for the most part) so I used it. 300, 400, or 500 (or TOR) would have been just as good.
