Default Inflatable Rotors (Flying Car?)

I was reading about inflatable wings:

So you'd be riding a sort of lightweight automotive vehicle along the
road, and you could switch to helicopter mode, with inflatable rotors
popping out on the top of your vehicle. Your engine would then power
the rotors, and you'd fly away. Once you landed again, the deflated
rotors would be tucked back into whatever compartment they'd popped
out from.

Cmon, there are all kinds of wierd-looking lightweight concept cars
out there, so why not this? What would be the main difficulties with a
concept like this?


I think perhaps Barnyard BOb would be the one to give you the best
feedback on your idea...
