Naah, we're perfectly safe. 'Cause that thing will never fly without a crane hooked to it. The physics are against it. The fuel use is against it. The noise is against it. The cost is against it. FAA certification is against it. The chances of engine failure ruining your day are against it. Finding a test pilot is against it. Did I say the physics are against it? It can't do what they say it will do. No way, no how. Yep, we're safe, from it. -- Jim in NC |

What if one put a pig in it? Harry K I think the only reason we only see pix of it flying tethered is because it won't lift anything heavier than an hamster. So I doubt a skycar will make pigs fly... ;o) Tony |
