Isn’t a helicopter a flying car already?
You can drive it down the road, or fly it.
Same with an airplane actually.

It can carry two people, with a combined weight limit of 200kg (31 stone). That would be only one American.

Those aren’t flying cars. Those are driving aircraft.

"It takes two minutes and 15 seconds to transform from car into aircraft." It took me about that long to get the roof up on my '66 MGB.

200 kg = 440.9 lbs, OR
31 st = 434 lbs therefor
235 lbs + 128 lbs = 363 lbs so the Mrs. and could make a flight
Wait, you say it costs what??????
Maybe I’ll wait for something cheaper...

So you buy a flying car. Where can you “fly” it without lanes, speed limits, passenger limits, tail light codes, decals authorizing HOV authorization? Have fun, this is a Deep State ready to pounce. It will never happen, as long as there are highways.

Then what??

I rest my case and my wife’s Pinto has long ago been recycled so I’m open to some improvements in the tech...

"between international airports in...
FYI history:
DFW Internaltional Airport (Texas y'all) was not always such.
It was originally DFW Airport when it opened.
About 1985, the airport in Eastland (Texas y'all) declared themselves as a International Airport and put signage out on IH-20 to note such as the only International Airport for that region of Texas.
Law suite...then Eastland dropped the International designation and thus forward, DFW Airport became DFW International Airport.
*Now,you know.

Once in awhile I have “flying dreams,” like Superman. Except I have to go to an airport to take off.

31 stone = 434 lbs. 200 kg ≈ 441 lbs.

“Once in awhile I have “flying dreams,” like Superman. Except I have to go to an airport to take off.”
my favorite dreams: flying dreams, but with me, the issue is continuous dodging high tension power lines ... obvious symbolism i suppose given that i’m a peasant ...
