Want.
wonderfull transforming vehicles
Very interesting. I think it's a great step in the right direction for flying cars and the like!
Now make a four seat version.
Reminded me of a Vertibird when it was in the air.
Wow, it even looks good
Look at all those fold-able gizmos.
It looks damn sexy when it's in helicopter mode
chitty chitty bang bang, chitty chitty bang bang
Just imagine the insurance and repair costs.
Not what I imagined it would look like, but it's still cool I guess.
does it require the runway? flying cars that require runways = not really worth it let me rephrase that: if you can't take off from your house driveway or from a reasonably empty parking lot this may have some issues becoming popular

[QUOTE=meppers;35405613]does it require the runway? flying cars that require runways = not really worth it[/QUOTE] Do you have any idea how big the Earth is? Get away from the computer and look outside. That thing even being a "gyrocopter" requires extremely short distances to takeoff. You can literally take off from a park. (trees cooperating)
[QUOTE=meppers;35405613]does it require the runway? flying cars that require runways = not really worth it[/QUOTE] Not really. Imagine you're in a police chase. Now imagine the police shitting themselves when you flip em the bird and fly away.
If there's a shaft (or other form of power transfer) going up to the rotor to get it spinning before forward movement begins, then takeoff distance can be substantially reduced. It's hard to tell if this has one though.
Can i get a version with high powered optics, missiles and a machine gun?

[QUOTE=MR-X;35406485]Can i get a version with high powered optics, missiles and a machine gun?[/QUOTE] What makes better optics high-powered?
it doesnt show what it does with the large rotors?
Reminded me of this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeQL-dUjlOg[/media]
It's more of a gyrocopter that can drive around than a car that can fly.
I hope this'll come on the news today (in the netherlands)
honestly what i'm looking forward to isn't the "commercial release" of a flying car when maybe a few really rich people can buy them. I can't wait until standardization of flying cars creates the need for insane amounts of air traffic control and new air laws to be put in place.
Any guesses as to what it's going to start at? I vote at least $100,000.
It's not a flying car until it looks like a car and then I can press a button and whoosh fly away. This is a helicopter that can drive for a bit.
That's cool and all but it's going to be nowhere near affordable.
What the hell is the point if there's no passenger seat to show it off to your friends with... Actually they would probably be more jealous if they had to watch from the ground, never mind.
