Very nice. I'd put one in my garage if I had a garage.

Good article -
I'm wondering why he used a grass strip instead of hard surface?
Brings a major question to mind - will the suspension handle a hard surface runway?

Having just spent three hours trying to get the idea of insuring two cars on the same policy over to the barely intelligable Indian sales person employed by my insurance company, the thoughts of trying to insure a flying car gives me a headache just thinking about it. I'd also like to put one in my garage, but I'd have to move the mother-in-law out first..........Mmmm.........where do you get these from?

When you scroll down it tells you it has a strong under carriage that can land on grass or pavement.

Love it! But I can see it driving our BMV nuts (short trip) trying to figure out how to license it, and not charging the right amount.

Nice try, but by the time it gets fitted with emission controls, airbags, 5mph bumpers, and dozens of other federally-mandated items it will be too heavy to ever get off the ground in the U.S.

I do not think it would have a very good glide ratio.
Tail first.

It might make a great golf cart. Plenty of landing strips.
