We were promised these when we were kids, dang it!
Hopefully the commercial version will be right behind the military one...

How is the weight of an up-armored humvee type vehicle going to balance with being light enough to fly? This thing would need a huge honking power plant I would think.

Will Mr. Spacely be more upset now if I'm late since my Jetson car can fly at 270mph?
