No, it’s simply because they’re a stupid outdated SF concept birthed
from a car-crazed society. Once you have a vehicle that can fly between
locations, it makes zero sense to also make it suitable for driving on
roads. Who in their right mind is going to *drive* anywhere they could
just fly to? Who is going trust that a roadworthy vehicle after miles
of driving is going to remain airworthy?

Eliminate the “economics” problems and flying cars still make no sense.
Imagine a world where everyone is Superman. Superman does not drive to
the rescue. Only motorheads ever thought flying cars were a good idea.


No, Jimp. Flying cars were and are a good idea unless you think you
can just land anywhere you like. If you fly a GA aircraft, what do
you do once you land it?


My apologies. Got the wrong poster associated with the comments. The
comments, however, still apply.
