FLYING CAR: YOU CAN HAS ONE

[defrog]

Yr 21st Century Fuck Yeah headline of the day:



The weight exemption is so they could fit in the safety features required for road vehicles, like air bags and crumple zones.

And you can pre-order one with a $10,000 deposit. But be prepared to pay the other $184,000 when it’s ready.

Oh, and you’ll still need a license to fly light sport aircraft.

Anyway, there’s yr flying car. What could go wrong?

Light aircraft on fire,

This is dF

As I understand it, it's still technically the street-legal equivalent of a Cessna and thus subject to FAA regs, so you'd still need to drive it to an airport/air field to take off and land, which means flight plan and air traffic compliance, etc. Unless the FAA is willing to make an exception for that too.
