I hope those wings and empennage are stowed during driving... Looks more like a roadable aircraft than a “flying car” in that photo.

Bruh. It’s in the clip above.

“Samson says the wings, tail and propeller are now fully enclosed inside the vehicle during diving mode.”

Notice it has 3 wheels that’s not an accident its mandatory.

Why?

3 wheels makes it a autocycle by law and not subject to full car fed safety laws. Which would make it much to heavy to fly.

Depending on its final mass this could be in the Sport Light Aircraft licence bracket it will never be in the licence free ultralight bracket so a PPL or sport light FAA cert is mandatory in US airspace. No joe six pack will not be flying this off the street notice the you have to drive to an airport part that’s mandatory as well the FAA will have your nuts if you tried to take off from a road no way no how nope nope nope. From a private field 1000 feet or more from habitable structures or congested areas maybe do that more than once and the FAA will demand you get a airstrip permit with full site surveys.

Again this is a fully licenced aircraft not the flying car of lore.
