This sort of proves what I've been thinking for the past 18 years... and it's a kind of confirmation

If you check out my design, you'll note it hovers on Alternative Energy and it's not heavy or made from metal...

The same company, Moller, was also developing another 'skycar' as well, but that project flopped and they sold their prototyp on Ebay (I'm not joking). It's doubtful if this flying saucer here will fare any better. I really think they need to come up with some new technology- new materials or power sources or something- before the flying cars really become viable.

Just another scam from a failed inventor. Don't you think that if this was a practical idea that some big investor would have bankrolled this firm sometime in the last 40 years, and that China would have copied it already?

One question:
Where are the brakes?
(addition question for extra credit: Why does everyone in the film clip look like they stepped out of the 70s?)

Bill Cosby said his dad would break wind at the table and it would lift him off the chair. His dad said it was the elephant under the table.He said he didn't mind that so much but his brother would go looking for it . Lets go elephant hunting.

Flying cars are not new.At least one was developed in the 50's.They proved to be too expensive.There are also aqua- cars.I still see one once in awhile.

It looks like a fun little toy, but can you imagine what havoc they would wreak? It's difficult enough surviving in a two-dimensional driving plane.

It has eight engines.
I bet it guzzles far more fuel than a conventional vehicle.
