Great.

Somewhere new for women to demonstrate how badly they drive.

for some reason the link isn't working for me... do the wings fold out of the way? otherwise it just kind of looks like a VTOL aircraft

No. It is VTOL. It can hover too. The nacelles rotate for level flight once airborne. The engines are rotary and will run on almost anything. I've been following this one's progress for a few years.

I can't explain the broken link, it worked for me.

Moller has several models they're working on, the M400 I think has longer wings. Try to get onto the site, maybe google it. They have videos of test flights and all kinds of good stuff.

Now on eBay:

Interesting...One way to get through rush hour traffic!

There will be traffic jams in the sky lanes. And then we will worry of drunk drivers getting thru the bedroom's window!

Well ... that'll add a new nuance to "Drop in and see us sometime!", won't it?


(Um ... why through the bedroom window? You have a curious mind. )

Not really, they've allready planned for this.

A personal flying car only needs a few hundred feet of verticle space tops. Of what's their ceiling, 30,000 feet, that's 3,000 lanes over any one spot.

Well, now Im comforted. The drunks have all that air to run into before they impact my house.

Well English is not my first language.

I don't think language has anything to do with it.

It's the thought process that led to the image of drunk drivers coming in through your bedroom window that intrigues me.

as awesome as flying cars are...the government will never let the major population partake. theres no way to control it or even keep it organized. and what about vehicle maintenance. if your car dies in mid air your fucked.. and so is the lucky person you nose dive into. i wish something like this would happen. but only the xtrememly wealthy or the government would be able to use it. think about all the cars on the road everyday..now think of all them flying around. i sense more air collisions than land collision coming in the vision. as awesome as it would be..it'll never happen

i still dont think it will happen... the government would probably use the whole "it could be used as an easy way to commit a terrorist attack" angle to shoot it down
