7 Real Flying Cars That Actually Fly

The Terrafugia TF-X - Terrafugia TF-X should lay in the price segment of $1,000,000 USD

[Robert DeLong]

Pretty Cool

[Larry Lucido]

About time!

[Leaning Right]

The Terrafugia TF-X is worth 7143 Biden stimulus checks. I really want that car. So come on, Joe! Authorize 7142 more checks.

Alas, the 'video' is a computer creation of what the company envisions in their concept.
That is, no real picture of it flying..

[Boiler Plate]

Well 6 that exist and one that is imaginary, but cool looking.

[Yo-Yo]

There was a flying car in Bond that, aside from the tricked out dashboard, was a real flying car. I’m sure it’s listed in the Fine Article.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah but:

unfortunately it’s just a car with some clip on wings and a dashboard that converts into airplane dials.

[LastDayz]

Awesome.... but imagine for a moment the carnage that would ensue if most anyone could acquire and operate one. Many people can’t drive worth a flip in the first place.

[Robert DeLong]

Still the most reasonable flying car concept I have seen yet, if they can actually get it to market. 8>)

[LastDayz]

LOL..... is that a Pinto under them thar wings?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Real soon now...

[Larry Lucido]

:-)

[Robert DeLong]

They probably wouldn't fly it themselves, if they can't drive worth a flip as you say. 8>)

Again, it will only be for the rich, but it is a very doable concept. Unlike most others that require a runway to take off to become airborne, and a runway to land at to become a vehicle again.

But since a see no place to actually buy it, the concept must be easier to develop than the working reality. 8>)

Pretty Cool

I'm skeptical. What do you suppose is the gross weight of TF-X? 300 HP engine, transmission and drive train for surface travel. Batteries and electric motors for vertical mode. Don't forget the generator for inflight recharge, or you won't be landing anywhere. And the actuators that extend and rotate those vertical lift rotors.

Now add actual payload - pilot, three passengers, somewhere around 100 gallons of gasoline.

Starting to sound heavy yet? Heavy enough that maybe those stubby little wings might be inadequate?

[Robert DeLong]

NO, it was an AMC Matador. 8>)

[Robert DeLong]

That may be why it hasn’t actually made it to market yet. 8>)

[Flick Lives]

Whatever you do, don’t let the dog stick his head out the window while operating this vehicle.

[PIF]

Gee officer I was just shooting skeet at the time and then well I’m sorry

[ZOOKER]

George Jetson's flying car not only fit in the garage, it folded up and fit into his briefcase, which he could carry into work.

That's the one I want.

If it needs a pilots license, then is it really a car?
