+Desertrat56 Posted December 4, 2019 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Wait, I did not see the orange one fly at all. And I think a few years ago there was a german company making flying cars that cost a lot less than that one. I will have to see if I can find a link. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Grey Posted December 4, 2019 #5 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I'm not that old and I've seen at least 3 finished flying cars in my lifetime. You know what I haven't seen? A mass production of them. These things will never be more than an expensive toy. A cool, expensive little toy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterk505 Posted December 4, 2019 #6 Share Posted December 4, 2019 The biggest obstacle with all these is the getting and maintaining of a pilot's licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qxcontinuum Posted December 5, 2019 #7 Share Posted December 5, 2019 not at all the first one. I remember about 9 years ago one got sold on eBay for something like $70,000 It was made by Boeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Hammerclaw Posted December 5, 2019 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Pretty lame, considering what's already flying. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=blackfly+flying+car&&view=detail&mid=EBEEAF956D659C101854EBEEAF956D659C101854&&FORM=VRDGAR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoofGardener Posted December 5, 2019 #9 Share Posted December 5, 2019 ROFL If you're going to build a time machine into a car, you base it on something exotic like a Delorean. If you're going to be a crime-fighter with an artificial-intelligence indestructible car called KITT, you use a Pontiac Firebird. Even Lady Penelope's car was based on a Rolls Royce. THESE people have based their flying car on.... a Reliant Robin ! This does NOT bode well. It may be able to fly, but it will roll over onto its roof every time it goes around a bend ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
