Flying Cars: Are they feasible?

[axi]

Is it the one that's required to be tied to a flagpole while flying, because it has no aircraft license? The one that uses ****el engines?

[chequita guevara]

dunno

Censorship sux!

****el = W a n k e l

And a little threadjacking:

I saw a story on CNN about an hour ago about a campaign of a religious environmentalist group, titled: "What would Jesus drive" A flying car is a very good answer to this, could even be used in advertisement some day.

Of course this group had soemthing more timid in mind, something like a fuel efficient car. Personally I feel Jesus would rather ride a bicycle, but an American could hardly ever think of that.

I read the articles a few years back on Hotwired. I went to the site of the car maker, but that's too long ago to remember.

We need to get nuclear energy in cars.

yes radioactive debris scattering all over residential neighborhoods is what we are missing in modern society

Remember, I've worked nuclear power. Where do you think all that primary coolant water goes when a reactor plant heats up?. Storage tanks- and we all know where that ends up.

There's 2 of them built already, by New Zealanders I think, both red, one for 2 ppl the other for 1 I think.

There's the other one, which is not really a car, but a mini-helicopter, which fits 1 person.

I don't see the citizens using air travel like that. But transportation services, like buses, taxi's, and government services like fire services, hospitals and cops would use them.

No discharges allowed if you are less than 12 feet from the pier...

There were some experiments with flying wehicles in the past, but these projects are pretty secret... only a pic here and there leaks out

12 feet sounds about right
