It only takes up 6 parking spaces...

Won’t fit in my garage. It looks kind of like an airplane dressed up as a car.

Yeah, I’m wondering how many people would actually have space for it, not to mention landing and taking off in an urban environment full of trees and telephone wires, and with narrow roads. You’d basically have to keep it an airport, and take off and land at an airport, kind of like (drum roll) an airplane.

Looks very aerodynamic. Not.

It’s pretty cool looking. I watched the video. I wonder where they got the computer chips.

Just think of 'em as curb feelers.

A lousy airplane and a lousy car. No thanks.

It uses the same engine for flying and driving. The driving portion will put a lot more wear on the engine since it is accelerating and decelerating a lot lot more than an aircraft engine which runs at a steady RPM.

And as a car the engine will have to be pulled and rebuilt far more frequently.

What’s the wing loading? How well does it glide without power? It’s also aerodynamically pretty dirty.

This is a toy and not a serious idea. Still I hope he has fun with it. It’s better than a muscle car at impressing the guys on the block.

I suspect this would up the anti on the excitement levels of rush hour traffic in Atlanta.
