The engine/rotor noise must be awful, both for the pilot
and the poor groundlings under his commute to work.

Can you imagine hundreds of these things working
their way into a city during morning rush hour?

Picture the chaos if that abortion was ever mass produced. Christ, we
can't even keep the average driver from wrecking when he has 4 tires
giving him firm control of direction.

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.

At this point I find it hard to imagine one of these things flying much
less a city full of them at rush hour.

No I can't imagine it at all because not a single one has ever flown.

Faith like Billy Graham wouldn't get that pig to fly.

Actually, I take that back. It might fly for a while. The problem would be for
the test pilot, when it "quit flying."

Remember those 2 cycle backpack helicopters?

Imagine an ejection seat in one of those.

Ouch!

Your contribution of just $100 will get you a pig bone, touched by our
faith healers and Jim Moller, his own self, and the glorious AirCar ROSE
FROM THE GROUND and was hEEEalled for all the world to see.

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)
