threemonkeysIt is one of those regular con panel topics - "its 20xx and where is my flying car" or why isn't the future as cool as I thought it would be. So therefore every so often along comes an article showing off the latest attempt at a real flying car. All these attempts just don't really cut it and I think the main problem is that they are still really like planes - they need specialised infrastructure - i.e. a runway.
But this one shows a bit of promise. It has hover/VTOL capability. Really, it is more like a personal helicopter than a flying car - you can't use it on the road. But I don't think that is the important thing - personal convenient point to point flying is what matters. And it is electric.
There are a bunch of reasons why letting everybody fly is a bad idea, but that doesn't stop me wanting one.
