Are you ready for flying cars? Automotive expert Lauren Fix reports for CNN
International.
This idea has been around since Molt Taylor’s aerocar and have been
unsuccessful and cost prohibitive. That being said, the idea has never been
to takeoff and land at a shopping mall, it is designed to takeoff and land
at airports near your destination, fold the wings and drive to your
destination from the closest airport. Also, it is considered a roadable
aircraft. It is designed for the Light Sport category of aircraft which
means the operator must posses and Light Sport pilots license. It is
subject to all the current regulations and restrictions as the current
Light Sport aircraft have to comply with.
The Ultralight Aircraft you speak about are very limited in weight, speed
and distance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultralight_aviation#United_States.
And it makes a lousy car but it saves having to pay for hangar rent which
is very expensive.
alcohol or drugs? people take off in their personal planes now from their
own backyards, and we don’t know if they are on drugs or drunk
