  • Engineers are getting closer to the dream of the flying car. How would you sell one of these if you were an auto dealer? See all answers
    • *I* need this flying car

    • I wouldn't sell cars under any circumstances, but this thing was *so* made for me it's not funny (but the reason why is!). I actually had aspirations of getting a private pilot's license at one point, so I managed to find a flight instructor to take me up in a Cessna 150. He let me take off (with tons of assistance from him), and actually flying it once we were airborn was easy as pie, but when it came to moving around on the ground I was a **MAJOR** loser. I could not steer with my feet to save my life (which is pretty pathetic for a former dancer, now that I think about it) and my attempts could only be likened to playing "bumper planes." Having four wheels and steering like a car woulda solved that problem and made a whole lotta people at the airport sigh with relief, LOL!

    That IS true. That is probably the most difficult part of learning to fly- the runway steering. In THAT case, why not make a cessna that drives like a car instead of a car that flies like a plane?

    True, but can you fly a car without a pilot's licence (safely/legally?)

    I imagine you'd have to have one o' those and I don't expect they'll be testing for 'em at Motor Vehicle. Can you imagine???
