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. -- "Insisting on perfect safety is for people who don't have the balls to live in the real world." -- Mary Shafer, NASA Dryden |
