How is this different than an airplane?

Those are large wings. Either they retract into the car limiting interior space or they just fold up and make the car look like a resting butterfly when it’s driving about.

Going to have to work on the ground speed. 35 mph is way to slow for any highway. bigger engine, supercharged. Looks kind of long, might be hard to park. Still pretty interesting.

As Ralph Nadder would say... "Unsafe at any speed".

This is fine as long as you’re the only one. People can’t drive on a paved road with designated lanes. How are they going to navigate the skies?

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Airplane with four wheels. The entire game is "INVESTORS" -- come and give us money for this latest gizmo.

Imagine this "vehicle" and its wing span in LA, London or Rome traffic....

Imagine this "vehicle" and its wing span in the thousands on any urban road.
