Now before you get too excited about the possibilities of a flying car, that had been forecast by people hundreds of years ago, there are some things about it that don't allow it to go from driving to flying in an instant. The car itself can go at top speeds of 112 mph and gets 28 miles per gallon, which is really good for such a concept car.
To go from driving to flying the engine must be brought to a complete stop and then the rotors and tail are extended in a process which takes about 10 minutes. Then a straight takeoff strip of about 550 feet is needed to get the car into the air. After that the flying car has a range of about 250 miles.
This could be the future right here because the company is looking for investors to start designing a flying car for commercial use!

Great idea for people that travel for business. it would be a lot cheaper and easier than having to go to an airport and buying a ticket and having to go through security. This would be perfect for the traveling business man or the person that just wants a cool new toy. The only problem i see is that im sure in order to purchase this new toy you would need to get a pilots lisence which might limit the amount of people that want this flying car.
