Flying car

[Junior_BentsPlatformShoes]

Looks impressive. Although, I'm livid when someone adds a dink to my car on a car park with a door etc, taking off and finding out someone had dented an aileron or another vital part after the Aldi shop would be annoying and possibly fatal. Discovering you put diesel instead of petrol in upon take off could be an issue too. Don't see where this can be applied in everyday life unless it's developed for the armed forces. Nice idea though:

Until we get one each, like in The Jetsons, then it’s just a plane you can drive on the road!

PS and all “silent” electric cars should be made to sound like the flying car George Jetson has!

Love that

Les wants to know if they do a Corsa version. Koko wants to know how many shotguns it can accommodate. Brownpants wants one that he can park any old place including the top of the Tower.

Environmentally friendly, I rather think not. Can you imagine the carnage accident wise, it’s bad enough on the road with forward, left & right, never mind up & down too. Probably a rich plaything at over £250,000. Battery powered version will probably stay airborne for 5 minutes max

Pah, it's all been done before - has Chitty Chitty Bang Bang been airbrushed out of history?

Caractacus Pott - way ahead of his time.

and Scaramanga had one in The Man With The Golden Gun...

They're been trying this since the 1940's, and although they've been able to make them work nobody's ever found a practical reason for them to exist, I suspect this'll go the same way.

Don't mind driving it on the road.
No way would I go up in it.

Been done already

I couldn't give a flying car about one of them. Where would you land and take off?

However, this looks the real deal - Volocopter

When I was a kid I was convinced we'd all be flying around in hovercrafts and spacepods by now. Reality - same old shit!

 

[bfcpete]

Do you take a combined driving and flying test?

 

[Shandypants]

That'll never take off. Boom...I'll get my coat

 

[Matesrates]

Jet packs are the way forward, I want one.
