Pretty neat!!

Sadly, most people can't manage to drive on four wheels on a 100' wide piece of asphalt without being spastic about it. Imagine if hundreds of them began taking to the air?

(and you thought being pegged in the head by a bird at 70mph was bad!)

Reminds me of the Three Wheelers they have round here in Ohio, Regulation prevents them from being used as people bought them as an MC and the seat is too wide and don't qualify as a MC (A Saddle) so those who bought them are waiting for ruling on how to license them, This would have to be even a worse case, especially with 911 in light.

I'm sure they will be quite expensive if they make it into production eliminating a lot of wanna be's from flying around the skies.

I vaguely remember a rotary-engined craft that had large fans in the wings for STOL-like characteristics. I don't think they made it into production.

I'm glad to see that they will have a harmonic decoupler to switch engine power from wheels to pusher fan

They would probably make them in China anyways.

For some reason all I can think about are those extendable wings.
Like pulling up to a light on a 3 lane road in the middle lane.
Extending the wings and pushing the cars on either side off the road

Hate to be riding a regular bike without a windshield behind that thing. Matter of fact hate to ride behind it with a windshield.
