    Climbed out like a rock...it :)

    It is really dumb to design a flying car with all the
    bumper, head lights and crash requirements.
    Flying motor cycles make a lot more sense.

    That's just a still shot of it a few feet off the
 ground...here's the
    video of the ENTIRE first
 flight...www.terrafugia.com/First_Flight_A.html

    And, as you said, Paul...it NEVER got out of ground
 effect!

   That still puts it one step above the Moller Skycar,
 which never even got
   off the tether...

 But how sad is it, really, when the best you can muster is
 to say "Well, I'm
 better than the Moller Skycar..."???  Talk about
 setting the bar low...

 Hello,

 A french way to roadable aircraft :
 Two seater, only 40 mph on road or airborne... but well off
 ground effect !

 still make sense.)

Never be street legal in the US.

As a car, it would not be street legal in France either !
It should be registered as a "voiturette" (two seater small car theoretically
limited to 30 mph, and mainly used in cities)

However, using a large kite wing and a pusher propeller on a fully legal
car should be enough to make it fly...

The following is just extrapolation. I could have chosen a Porshe 911
with a pusher propeller, but that would not be
politically correct here...




Does that make sense ?
