A Roadable Aircraft In The Making
 
This is a very cool flying car that is lurking in our horizon. I saw video footage of the 1/10 scale rc model - electric power with retractable wheels. The model flew very well. A full scale prototype is being built.

My first thought was "Oh that's great! Now I will have to contend with Sunday drivers in the air too!". But, I quickly realized that only rich people would be able to afford something like this in my lifetime so.... it's cool :)

I fail to see how that is "Roadable" 20ft of wings wont fit on any road I know of, and unless they are foldable or removable...the project will never fly(pun intended)

Yes, the wings fold and stow.

Check in my gallery photos to see one that I have been flying for two years using a mouse as the pilot.

The problem is the requirements for a good car and good plane are mutually exclusive. That is why no flying cars have ever been successful. Like those other projects, this one will likely never see production of any sort.
