How about a flying car?

theres no way these things are going to be legal to fly even if you have a pilots license.... I mean dont you need air clearance before you take off??? this sounds more and more silly everyday I see it.

Of course you do and you also need to be at an airport.

The pupose of a flying car is you would land at airport and drive off to wherever you would want to go.
Then to fly again you have to drive to an airport.

A flying car is just a rich person's toy..... a very expensive novelty that is neither a great car or a great aircraft.
Both are compromised in combining the two.

Here is option 2. You don't need an airport.

That cocept has been around since the '40's and never found a market.
The newer aircraft simply use new matrerials and technologys but, it's the same old concept.
You still have to tow it to an airport.

Let's no loose sight of the fact that any aircraft comes under the rule of the FAA, at least in the US.
Most other indusrialized countries have simular governing bodies that will/do dictate an aircraf/flying car use,

Bottom line, you still have to be an acomplish pilot to fly one of them if you plan to stay alive!
They are not some "low and slow" flyers like some ultralights are.
