Sadly, not even a little....

They never got the STC approved. They did have it installed on RV-10s, and I did take some of their components to make my motorcycle that I put in my 206. They had one installed inside a Cherokee six with a lift & turn ramp, but you lost ALL your interior cargo space. With the 206 we only lost 1/2 our space.

I'm pretty sure just about any car that could fly would be beat to death in a few thousand miles of driving on streets in the midwest.

Heck there are fancy cars today that can't get through the pot holes without popping a tire and/or bending/cracking rims. Talk about impractical bad engineering. Sad part is that if the fancy car breaks and 99% of the other traffic can drive right through it, taxpayers are paying for the bad engineering when the broken car files a claim.

I think I've finally figured out the market for a flying car. I along with others have said that flying cars are the merger of bad planes and bad cars, and that at any destination you can easily get a car, so why compromise on the plane?

Lately I've seen a few people talk about commuting to work in a plane, mostly in California. Just them, flying over traffic. THAT is who should buy one of these. Preflight in your garage, don't have to keep a car at each end.

If we are discussing the flying car as a product without a real market I would invite you to consider a different product which clearly does have a different market. The Maverick.

I have seen one of these in the air - they are much like the weight shift "trikes" that we see operating from the ultralight strip at Oshkosh. The Maverick works. It fulfills the mission requirements for which it was designed.

And it looks like a total hoot!

There is a guy I see from time to time who flies a non-road worth powered parachute similar to that Maverick. Every time he flies it, it takes him an hour, minimum to unload it from the trailer and set up, then an hour to pack everything up and put it back in the trailer. He often takes longer. I don't think that a powered parachute is going to save anyone any time over driving unless it's gridlocked.

But, if he didn't have to deal with the trailer, and the set up, and could have just driven it to the airport......

That's not his problem, he just rolls it out of the trailer. It's setting up the parachute and getting the lines untangled and laid out just so. Then tuning his 2-stroke for the day, temp, humidity, and barometric pressure.

Gotcha

the "time savings" for that concept is that you need to cross a river or swamp that has no bridge and is otherwise impassable. I think it's a great concept.
