Cars that want to grow up to be aeroplanes are not a new concept, but there is a new high-tech design from Milner Motors that breaks the old ‘garden shed designed’ mold. This new radical design combines an electric car with a light aircraft produce a hybrid with high-quality engineering technology. One huge advantage this [...]

That's great.. Like in the movies flying cars with turbo speed..

I think it will be made very very soon... It will be possible since we are in the computer world...

Since this post was added Terrafugia have released the first production flying car the Transition (sorry, still haven't made enough posts to link to it).

But, imho, it suffers from the same problem that every previous flying car concept suffers from - it looks terrible as a car (I can't believe there's anyone who would feel like an idiot driving this to the shops) and it looks terrible as a plane.

Plus at £100,000 there are much better alternatives in terms of both cars and planes.

All in all, I just can't see flying cars ever taking off

Cheers,
Ian.
