My new Car!

Just kidding, but it would be neat to have a flying car. I could definately go back and forth from home to school much faster.

wow, the design for the collapsible wings....... is ridiculous. even though they arent extended, the Bernoulli effect will still be present, making that car randomly jerk right and left on a windy day or when just on the highway.

i should write the people at terraflugia inc a nasty letter

nah

I don't know, if the wing folds FLUSH up against itself, it seems like that would negate any chance of it producing lift, since it would entirely change the profile, producing equal airflow across both sides.

They won't produce lift when folded up like that, but I bet it'll still make a hell of a sail.

It looks interesting. But even if it does eventually come out it they wont be very popular. Especially the price tag.
