I'm with JV ... badass!

 

[ImagesAndWords]

Badass indeed! How much they do they cost?

 

[Nikko]

Sweee-eet!

Love how it just fits in your garage and you can fly right on out to the gas station

Where's the bitch seat?

FAIL

 

[Infinite Keith]

That is awesome.

What happens when the engine malfunctions and stops working? I imagine those wings are for stability purposes only. Guess you'll drop like a rock. Other than that, very cool.

 

[Dimaseo]

Pretty sweet, thanks for sharing.

I'd rather have this... faster and street legal: Terrafugia - Transition® the Roadable Light Sport Aircraft : The Vehicle

p.s. - Full vehicle parachute available

 

[ArtDeco]

Very cool - but if it is real, why show a computer simulation?

 

[Karnul]

Pretty cool - but I would guess it will be 10 years before private pilots can buy them. They might come out sooner, but the military, government, and hospitals will buy up all available inventory for a few years.

This one is due out next year:

They answer that question in the video towards the end.

Some cool videos... thanks for sharing those.

Badass indeed! How much they do they cost?

The price is not set yet because they're not in manufacturing as of yet but the site FAQs say comparable to other planes which cost anywhere from $150k - $400k.

Screw your helicopters, I'm dreaming about getting around on one of these.

They're actually for sale for about 8M yen. The only thing that'll be missing from my future are the freaky psychic bald kids.

I still like yellow sport car
