It is. A tricycle gyrocopter.

I’ve been following the PAL-V development for years and am deeply disappointed in this short-sighted final rollout.

They tout the fact that they are using off-the shelf technology, and then try to market the vehicle for $400K ? Why ? They don’t have a huge R&D cost to make back, nor do they have a huge tooling cost if they are using off-the-shelf tech. Clearly they do not EXPECT to be able to sell very many of them and think they must make all their money off just a few hundred units. If they were convinced they had a viable product that would sell in the hundreds of thousands of units, they would charge under $100K. As it is, somebody could afford to buy a separate sports car and helicopter, both of which would perform better than this and cost less.

Sell a flying car for under $50K and the world will beat a path to your door. At $400K, nobody will be lining up and your doors will close quickly.
