Anna B Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I think designers are barking up the wrong tree with folding wings etc. Surely the model / shape to be following is a bigger version of a flying drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't think there's a viable market for such a vehicle; it's just a toy and an expensive one at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubermaus Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I wonder if this might become a reality for our more cash burdened individuals? Lovely looking machine, but only a tiny target market I would suspect.... http://www.iflscience.com/technology/company-claims-their-flying-car-will-hit-markets-two-years I always wanted a flying delorien.

It still has to be a car as well... And vtol takes much more power than flight with wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsTrophy Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Shame that Sheffield University has destroyed the only place in Sheffield they could land and take off from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 You're blaming the university for the closure of the airport? And if you read the article they can take off from grass air strips. We have fields right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsTrophy Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Closure and destroying are separate in my book and cant see the CAA giving approval easily for fields around the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 The council granted planning permission as well. The loss of the airport is entirely down to them, but also irrelevant to this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
