First flying car

[Mr. Lucky]

New England aviation company Terrafugia has unveiled its latest conceptual version of a flying car. Unlike its current flying car, which is designed for pilots, the new design incorporates autonomous functionality, a move the company says will open up the skies to everybody.:thumb:

Well bees can fly so I guess that aerodynamic blunder should. Doesn't look like it has enough lift surface. Power = flight?

George jetson, here we come!!!

That's all we need, wierdos in the sky! There is enough driving on the roads and highways.

Imagine Toronto with a few hundred thousand asian women in flying cars.

I have been following Terrafugia for the last few years now. The video and the second image you posted are 2 different models. They are working on Vertical take off and Landing. They have deposits now from about 100 customers and they will cost $250,000 to $300,000. I don't see the point really. You still have to drive to an airport for takeoff with the first model. It is very interesting stuff though.

We've seen this stuff on the cover of Popular Mechanics every year since the 30s. Most people can't even walk without bumping into things, now they're all going to be flying. Riiiiiiight...

i can't see a computer landing a plane, even for an airliner

maybe on a clear day with 0 wind ... too many variables, weather conditions, etc... you need a trained pilot

auto-land for the average joe, in any condition, don't see that happening for a long while

Pacific mall would be designated a no fly zone.

Omg I need this in my life right now! I'm putting that on my wish list, I don't have a license but I don't care.

They've had that capability for years, but the aircraft itself is not fully autonomous, it requires ground based equipment to work with.

 

[Cobra Enorme]

you can land these on a dime, you dont need a runway.

 

[Azprint]

Wish people learned how to drive on the road first...that's all I need now, shit falling down from the sky just because some bimbo decided to put on a make up in the air.
