The article and video in this link pretty much sums it all up, have we finally achieved a step further to practical flying cars?

Welp, guess i'ma have to save up my money :P
Wonder if a PPL (A) would be sufficient for flying it, awesome find Snake! ^^

I wouldn't instantly call it practical though, you still need a coordinated runway (no, the highway does not count lol)

You'll need a sport pilot license to fly one of these things Cipher.
But I think your AG pilots license should do the trick though ;)

@Snake then a PPL should be good as well ^^
And lol ag license, i don't have that on paper though :P nor do i think that would be "official" lol, cool thingy though

@Mosj shhhhhhhhhhhh, don't tell anyone ;)
It's cool to see iterations though, they might actually become a thing, although i wonder what the price range would be on it & the flight range as well actually, would be awesome to just take to the skies whenever you want to :)

they claim these cars are road legal but aint no one got the balls to actually go and buy one... these are machines of fancy, objects of intrigue more than anything practically viable in the modern age... Flying cars won't become a reality any time soon - just too much red tape.

Can you imagine running out of fuel with no landing strip? Exactly... aint no govt gonna allow that kinda possibility on their air-space/roads. It's highly irresponsible for them to let this just get a green light imo.

Not to mention, one would look like a complete pleb in one of those hybrids.

great. :) Definitely prototypes for the future. They can also be "toys" for people with many, many, soldi..che can turn around their houses and also have an ice landing strip. :)

Is Rapier Class Competence enough to fly this thing?

^Lol, need supersonic skills! :P

And yeah Mosj, it is definitely not the future of the highways, but as Dixi said, it's a nice private thingy (for those who have money to blow lol), kind of like private chopper transport ;)
