No traffic, no tolls, no soccer moms to contend with.

dude..that would be awesome to own...if it only worked[:@]Pretty interesting read though....amazing that that was made over 20 years ago and even with todays technology they still haven't made one that actually worked.

 

Very JETSONS!!!!

 

Wow, that is really cool. I wouldn't mind having one of those in the garage next to the hummer. I might even be able to fly into the parking garage at work's roof and not have to pay for parking. That could be really nice. Too bad something like this wouldn't happen.

 

I always wanted one of the Jetson's little craft. Wish the thing worked. That would be so cool.

 

I thought we've have a flying car by now, that would be cool.

 

Interestingly enough it is a registered craft....

I have always been secretly disappointed that the flying car has not materialized in my lifetime and it doesn't appear to be any closer today thanwhen that craft was intro'ed. Course, Iwas always also just as terrified about the implication of all those bad drivers in the 2D road system picking up the keys to a vehicle with another degree of freedom.

 

We do have the technology to make a flying car but the problem is a person's ability to fly an aircraft....pilots have to undergo years of training to be able to fly a plane

You really don't have to undergo "years" of training... it just takes some that long due to the costs. I flew with an instructor that wanted instructor hours and so we split the costs....

as far as the FAA is concerned you can have your pilots license at 16,sooner than you can have your drivers license in some states.
