@CheetahFoxx yes it would,

- A plane needs more room.

- A plane is less efficient.

- A plane is harder to use.

- A plane is hard to get into a parking spot.

how is the radical the fastest around nurburgring with only 200hp i get it weighs almost half a ton but i firgured the power to weight is only 5.5 pounds per hp and only goes up to 150 i realize the lightnig fast acelalation but how is this possibable?

@EvdTempel Less efficient ? No. Needs more room ... It depends. The Cap 232EX (the one in the video) take off at 120 KpH / 68mph, and need only 300 meters to do that & goes at 300KpH / 186mph only 12 seconds after.

So basically, speaking only about performance, it depends, but plane are 90% always more performant.

What you could say, on the other hand, planes are really, really most expensive. That's the real weakness.
