They should call it the George Jetson.

looks like a heliocopter
Looks more like some kind of flying 3 wheel motorcycle
My youngest stepdaughter took the old Buick flying.....once.
I bet Jay Leno will buy one for his collection.
Gyro-copter.
If it can’t fold up into a brief case, it ain’t a flying car.
And the buyer can have any color they want as long as it’s black.
All this flying cars nonsense. Yes, the technology has been around for awhile, but it just won’t happen.
Look, for $600,000 I could probably pick up a nice Bell Jet Ranger or, even cheaper, I could probably build some kit deal. However, I am never going to get FAA clearance to fly — whatever — below 500 feet and land in some mall parking lot or any area with nearby buildings, power lines, and people.
I can picture it now, some Hip Hop mogul or some trust fund kid buys one, even with a pilot’s license, and does something stupid (i.e., not out of character) and instead of killing one or two people on the road, he/she/it kills dozens or more of people after crashing into any number of structures that can cause secondary explosions or results.
Nice to dream of a purer time I suppose.
A solution desperately in search of a problem.
I cannot see as it is worth it to be dragging that package around when you are on the road in a cramped little car like that except for getting ahead of the Jonses this year or keeping up with them next year.
I'm pretty sure I've seen them a lot cheaper.
Really stupid. The general public is not fit to drive cars, let alone fly planes.
Not a chance.
I am an instrument rated private pilot (no longer active). You need at least 100 hours of in-flight instruction and at least 100 more hours pilot-in-command experience to get such a rating. Just to get a fair weather license is 20 plus 20 hours minimum. Only a fraction of that time is spent learning to control an airplane, The rest is about navigation, Federal Aviation Rules, and in the case of an IFR rating dealing with the Air Traffic Control system.
And all these things work because there's hardly anybody up there. Put tens of thousands of additional aircraft in the air, most of them presumably at low altitude, and none of them with functional breaking; and you're really asking for chaos.

This looks like a gussied-up Benson gyrocopter. I flew one once and never again. Weird controls and no power to the rotor. I was glad to get it back on the ground in one piece.
