Do you have any pictures of it folded into a briefcase?

This is old news. Scaramanga did this back in the 70's with an AMC Matador.

These things make neither good cars nor good airplanes, but I guess the concept is attractive that’s why people keep trying to market one.

A all-purpose tool is one that does every job equally poorly.

Interesting design. I read once the main reason we don’t have these (outside of cost) is because what you end up with is a half ass plane and a lousy car when you try to combine the two, the same as when they try to combine a car and boat.

I'd rather have a flying DeLorean.

From what I have heard this thing flies like a pig.

Neat!
But considering the record of American ,and illegals, driving in 2 dimensions on today's roads,I shiver in terror of those same people driving flying cars!!!!
How many will crash while texting?,farding?,phoning?,....and the merging from the shy to the roadway on approaching the cities will be a wonder to behold.

I saw a NASA documentary about flying car concepts.
It basicly said the radar infrastructure could not handle personal airplanes.
Imagine the Obamacrat horror to the concept. Obama is trying to outlaw personal vehicles.

Ridiculous. One wonders about the attraction of dragging that crap along behind you on the highway.... And imagine trying to parallel park that damned thing.
Wouldn't it be better to have a car-thingy that simply detached from the wing/tail assembly?

Yeah I could see where that would be a problem with today’s
technology. They are having enough trouble with the obsolete computers they are using now to keep scheduled airliners from humping each other. lol
