There is a good popsci article on this stuff. Has some more of the realistic looking oens as well.

I don't think it's a repost, but I swear I saw this thing on Nova or Discovery or something at least 5 years ago. 😛

I noticed that too. Pisses me off. My truck doesn't even get mileage that good 🙁

Note: These video files require Real Player 7.0.

Guy makes a flying car and can't figure out to NOT use Real Player? He just lost all my respect.

Have they even gotten past a tethered test yet?

It was, the thing has been a dream of this guy for YEARS. I have a book written a few years ago and it was in the thing as something the hero flew. It's a pipe dream.

Unless the site has new videos, last I checked the most you'll see is it hovering or something. I don't believe it's even been on a real flight.

i've seen this before... its been in development for quite a while

pretty cool i think

but the last thing i need are idiots crashing into my roof at 300 mph

 

[mobobuff]

I think I just pooped my pants a little :Q.

Flying cars....while a cool concept....should never ever happen with human drivers. Computer controlled perhaps in a long while though.

it looks like it will only be used for police, boarder control, search and rescue, and what not

so it may be a pretty good idea

Pretty Neat 😀

Imagine you going to work in that thing while everyone is sitting bumper to bumper on the freeway

You'd laugh at everyone when you go flying by.
