  • not quite what I expected from flying cars xD

  • Nice.

    I'd like to see how it unravels the parachute b4 flight, and reels it back in after.

    Also, several times it touched the ground and flew back up again...did the driver / pilot mean to do that, or was there too much flotation for a landing? I wondered b/c depending on the wind direction & strength, it looked like it may topple over.

    Finally, why did you blur out the text on the parachute?

see all

  • nice video:}

  • That makes my butthole pucker ! :)

  • Looks like you really beat Giles to the punch ! Well done, it looks like it works well. How long does it take to install the extra leading edge spar and vertical support, and why did you add it ?

  • I love it!! The nay sayers would have had a field day with the first Ford.. or Oville and Wilbur's flying machine.. it's simply a lack of vision.. I see a wonderful future for it.. I want 10 of them!!!

  • Steve Snyder would be very proud of you guys. When he developed the Paraplane, that's where he saw it all going. Rest in Peace old friend.

  • Very interesting and a nicely engineered piece of machinery, but for me, the true "flying car" will never be achieved as I envision it until we can perfect anti-gravity or mag-lev technology. (Think flying Delorean from Back To The Future.) Anything less is impractical.

    this takes 5 minutes

    The parachute is on a mast, so when you land it is supported in the air. crank it down and drive off!

  • I don't think this is such a great invention as they try to make you believe. The thing flies with a parachute which you have to fold up after landing. The fuel-consumption compared to travelled distance is gonna be way higher than a fixed wing aircraft.

    Another bad thing is that it is quite sensitive to wind.
