AeroMobil: Flying car

Flying car prototypes have been around for a while, this one is nothing special.<p>They&#x27;re basically a street legal airplane, they are not good cars and they are not good airplanes. It&#x27;s like combining a mouse and keyboard, the end result is an overpriced inferior product.<p>How much do these things cost? A lot, more than a small airplane and a car combined.<p>When will they be available for purchase? Unknown, they&#x27;re all in the prototype stages, probably not within the next 10 years because of lack of demand.<p>Autonomous vehicles will be cheaper, require zero skill to drive, will be safer, will be more fuel efficient, much quieter, and will become very common very soon, flying cars will not unless there is a major breakthrough in propulsion.<p>I&#x27;m glad people are tying the flying car idea, but it just doesn&#x27;t seem practical in the near future.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_car_(aircraft)" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Flying_car_(aircraft)</a><p><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=flying+car&amp;tbm=isch" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;search?q=flying+car&amp;tbm=isch</a><p><a href="http://www.terrafugia.com/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.terrafugia.com&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http://moller.com/dev/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;moller.com&#x2F;dev&#x2F;</a><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_Reconfigurable_Embedded_System" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Aerial_Reconfigurable_Embedded_...</a>

It&#x27;s very impressive that they are able to keep the entire car under 450kg.<p>As a comparison, SMART, one of the smallest car we have on the road today is 750kg. This is the car that people make fun of, and tip over for fun: <a href="http://jalopnik.com/vandals-are-flipping-over-smart-cars-in-san-francisco-1560004013" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jalopnik.com&#x2F;vandals-are-flipping-over-smart-cars-in-...</a>

Wow, when did HN get overtaken by haters? Ok, it is just a prototype, but I don&#x27;t see anyone here making their own flying car.<p>I for one think it is pretty cool, even if it is just a concept. Obviously serves a very specific use case but if it had the range I could definitely see lots of people buying this to get around in Australia. The Sydney-Melbourne air corridor is one of the busiest in the world, and if little plane cars like this could land in small airports without making a lot of sound... who knows. I could see a lot of businessmen forking out even a million dollars for one of these given a lot of them are spending close to that on their Ferraris. Here&#x27;s to innovation. And even if this never goes anywhere - here&#x27;s to someone having the audacity to create something like this.

Flying car means flying idiots. Idiots are bad enough when they are attached to the ground.

I&#x27;ve been following Moller Skycar since 90s. It&#x27;s getting nowhere. Good to see more companies experimenting in this segment. Hoping they would come out of perpetual prototype phase :) By the way, Moller&#x27;s design looks more SciFi-esque, without those folding wings :)

This will never hit the market until way more efficient propulsion technologies are developed allowing for a hovering car so to speak. Unfortunately invention of such a technology would be a feat equivalent to discovering electricity.

What&#x27;s a pre-prototype?

Pretty cool, though I think something only counts as a &quot;science fiction&quot; flying car if it doesn&#x27;t have large wings or large rotors. Only small rotors, jet engines, anti-gravity, etc... :)

Safe air corridors is an innovation that should predate flying cars. Safe for occupants &amp; safe for surroundings. Fender bender in air can cause a lot more damage with gravitational force.

Pardon me if a 124MPH airplane seems unimpressive. I seriously question the overall difference in transit time given one would have to drive to and from a regional airport.<p>I wonder what the cruising speed is? Presumably below the top speed. A 100mph cruising speed is sort of meh compared to a 70mph (or 80MPH realistically) cruising speed in a car over long distances on the interstate.<p>Of course being able to fly in a straight line makes a huge difference, but again, I wonder what the overall savings is when factoring in airport travel time.

One big problem with flying cars is that the potential to wreak havoc is enormous.

How does this happen without jet engines?

I was hoping for a hovercraft.
