Gorby Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Wow! That's excellent, I've not heard of this one before - very interesting take on the flying car concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I expected to see that design that's been on the go for years (below). Kind of a drone made large and instead of a big lipo and camera in the central section, a car cockpit. Not strictly flying, not strictly a car, it can't do a transition from one to t'other without stopping to do some work getting stuff in/out. Still fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James May has a pilots licence so I guess he'd be the likely candidate. My main concern is its inability to autorotate or glide (in the same way that bricks don't) in the event of an engine failure and I bet there's no parachute system due to weight. Fascinating, but not for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
