"BlackFly": It's coming...
In 2019. The manufacturer says the price will be "about what an SUV costs". That could mean $40K to $100K, though. Range is about 25 miles, 62 MPH, no pilot's license necessary, and it's at home on the ground, in the air, and in water.
It's powered by 8 electric motors, and acceleration is brisk. |

Never going to happen without a pilots license and FAA will be involved. This government will license that to death. With 80 percent of drivers being below shit being able to drive I don'e see this happening.

If I were still a cop I'd pull it over in my gleaming alloy air-car.
Two lanes wide. |

This thing is cool and all but notice they don't actually let you hear it in operation, instead playing dramatic music. Why? Because it sounds like a chainsaw fight between a stadium full of angry lumberjacks. Also it's extremely lightweight meaning if you crashed there's likely not much good that's going to happen to you. The cockpit is made out of foam. Range is 25 miles, which is meh. And then there's those eight exposed spinning propellers, you definitely don't want to land on anyone that's for sure.
