Flying car spreads its wings


Mankind’s primordial dream of flight is taking off with a new twist as a Slovak prototype of a flying car spreads its wings.

Very similar to the Pal-V.

Just hope these things never make it to this country, more than half the people on our roads cannot even drive properly, never mind flying.

That is one ugly plane.

Fine on a road, but where would you park something like that? Seems a bit impractical

Well they will be great for e-toll avoidance.

For some reason people calls it "flying" "car".

Waiting for this one.

Nope. That looks more like a ugly plane with a car-like undercarriage.

 

[bot]

I want one!

I can just picture cars hopping over toll gantries. Like flying fish over a ship's bow!
