People can barely drive regular cars, there’s no FUCKIN way i trust them with flying cars
12 year old me would be so stoked.
46 year old me thinks this idea sucks unless they are silent and self driving.
Everything I’ve seen so far was more like a flying trashcan that makes an infernal noise. Flying individual transport is such an idiotic idea.
Such a bad idea, in so many ways.
There’s a good reason that even professional pilots working for airline companies need to submit a complete flight plan even thinking of entering the cockpit and taking off. Can you even imagine the billionaires playing with this toy are actually going to submit flight plans? It’s going to be a disaster. The first time a commercial flight is taken down by one of these things, they’ll be banned world wide, hopefully BEFORE that happens.
I can see them bogging up international waters if they can make it launchable and recoverable by yachts. Imagine Bezos’ fleet will finally get an aircraft carrier.
It seems that there are so many small companies in this space, but not one bog player emerging. Why is that?
My guess: It’s the kid dream: a flying car. But the reality, with regulations, bad drivers, limited landing points means it’s not seen as as money maker. More a rich persons toy. And few sales. Flying car = not a great car and a worse plane/helicopter.
