TFX: The Flying Car

[Queen Esther]

Traffic can be a real grind. For those travelling between work and home by car every day,  the seemingly endless cycle of gas-brake-repeat at a snail's pace can wear thin. But commuters of the very-near future may be granted some respite by taking to the skies in a flying car. The US company behind the concept vehicle TF-X  is hoping, a prototype will be ready to fly  - and it will go on general sale within eight.  It does give different  of  these  vehicles....   (  Anyone  remember  that ? )

THE  FLYING  CAR  IS  REALLY  A  COOL THING

FIRST  ON  THE  STREET....   and  THEN,   UP  INTO  THE  AIR  ~~~~~  WOW !!

 

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

This is the type of thing that will probably cost $20,000 a year to maintain.  It looks like it's $400,000 or so to buy.

But ... like having a baby ... if you WANT one ... there is no way to economically justify the cost and expense over time.

People DO have babies ... ANYWAY.

I used to jump out of perfectly good airplanes as a younger man, but there is NO WAY you could get me into one of these ... in the air, or on the ground. 

Can you imagine a 5 mph "fender bender" when it costs $35,000 just to do the body repair and have it re-certified by a licensed airframe mechanic?

...still .. if you have a half million dollars of disposable income, and not that attached to living .... I bet it is a LOT of fun!
