Quite fancy this, looks very futuristic, not sure how it will handle on those skinny tyres :pray: but it looks a lot of fun.

Realistically, I think this will remain the stuff of science fiction. With the overcrowded roads I can't see a flying car ever being practical, not in this country (UK) anyway. :roll: The slightest bump in a car park would involve a very careful inspection before attempting a flight.

Flying car?

To me it looks exactly like an ordinary Gyrocopter/Gyroplane.

Similar to the one I "Fly" in my Copy of FS 2004 and FSX!...>>>

Xenon.... http://www.celieraviation.com/xenon.html

...and my dinky, little FSX Bensen Gyrocopter..>>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bensen_B-8

OK in the air... :dance: ...!

..a bit dodgy on the M1 Motorway!.... :? ...!

Anything on the ground with whirling propellers/wings make me squirm!.... :o ...!

Paul.... :D ...!

Fun Flying Machines...>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8IB-5PbL9U

I also think they will remain the stuff of rich man's toys to show off to his fellow rich friends. I can never see the day when these become more than a very expensive toy.
