Does anyone think this isn’t a scam? These guys don’t even have a flight capable prototype and they want full production by 2026. This is a high budget scam to defraud investors and now consumers.

I was expecting a flying car without blades or at least that didn’t look like a small helicopter. Well, it’s progress! I really want to see where this is heading to. ❤

This is not a “flying car”. You can’t drive it on the public road. It’s a rotorcraft/airplane hybrid like the Osprey.

Well, let’s see first if you can afford it and then the licenses you need to maintain. That’s a driver’s state license, private pilot, and instrument license. This aircraft car would need to be inspected every 100-hour from the FAA or DOT. This is basically having a Bush plane that can be stored in a 20’x20′ garage and that can take-off and land like a DRACO bush waker. Might as well own an MD500, it’s cheaper and you can land and store this almost anywhere.

That’s NOT a fling car!!! It is an folding airplane that you can drive to the airport. Just as stupid as all the others that call themselves flying cars. Who wants that kind of useless junk. I want a real flying car. One that doesn’t need to fold up. One that can takeoff and land on a single lane of traffic at low speed and doesn’t need to drive to an airfield. Only a fool would climb into that kind of drone type death trap!

Holy cow, different day, same scam. They’ve been pulling this and the electric car nonsense since the fifties. EVs actually were already beaten by gas cars in the early 20th century, lol.

This is more like a gadget for the super rich, it needs special training + license for flying + fees for airport parking + a lot gas. And it cost $780.000 Id rather buy 2 lamborghinis

How can media still call this and the other flying machines from other companies a flying car? these are technically just a VTOL aircraft. this is too impractical to be called a car and it doesn’t even look like it has controls for flight.

Now you can have someone drive and do a bank heist and then go transformer mode and helicopter away on the spot. The future.

What makes this a flying car and not a helicopter? If that’s the size of an SUV then those wheels are … 10 inches in diameter? And what are they doing about suspension to deal with bumps and potholes? I don’t see anything that looks like a front or rear bumper so it can’t be driven on roads. I also don’t think this is going to do well in crash tests. With a center of gravity that high this is going to flip over really easily.
This is either a helicopter, or this is nonsense. (It could be both)

Clearly misleading and fraudulent. The faa points out there is no low level airspace available in cities to use them, no low level aviation control technology suitable… It all presupposes that the us taxpayer will shell out 100 billion dollars to create one? Biden has spent all the us tax dollars so there wl be no flying cars outside airport regulation in urban areas…. Remember an idiot in a car is safer on the ground… Pointless as Europe regulators have decided don’t waste your cash
