I've always enjoyed seeing anything that bridges the gap between autos and aircraft.

First, you have to decide wether you will build a car that can be flown, or a plane that can be driven!

Status: offline 		Then all that remains, is for you to post the pic of your own Aerocar!

Remember, we are talking about a maneuverable flyer here, not just extending wings and getting 'airborn'.

That's been done many times, even accidentally, by racecars.

Here's another one to inspire you....

Status: offline 		Right, here's a 'strap-on' flight kit for a Lotus Elise.

Reminds me of the ill-fated Flying Pinto, from a few years ago, which was set up the same way.

But, it literally 'fell out of the sky', one day killing it's creators, due to a malfunctioning sill to strut clamp, which let go in flight.

Hope these guys have that engineering problem handled!

Status: offline 		maybe some sort of car / autogyro would be best. They seem quite nippy on the roads when you secure the rotors.
