They’ve got me! I am a FAN!!

That parasail could also work as a brake, like on dragsters.

110 MPH in an open cockpit makes the old World War I biplanes look extremely safe. Just don’t lean. Hang on!

180 MPH on the road, WOW!

It's actually going to be a bit less than that....the indicated speeds are for Kilometers per hour, not miles per hour.

From the developer's site:

In “fly mode” the Parajet Skycar will have:

A take-off speed of 60 kmph

A top speed of 110 kmph

Those are KPH not MPH. 100KPH = about 60 MPH. 110KPH would = about 65MPH. You can do better on the open interstate.
