Could you imagine the chaos of hundreds of these car/aircraft flying at various altitudes, (as they would need to be in the current 'stacking system'), over our small island!

Methinks these vehicles will become toys for the super-rich and certainly not in every-day use! Phil

I spent about 9 years working with an aerospace engineer. The only way we came up with to make a car fly safely...was stick it in a C-130
