I'd like one as well, but r-man is right ... ... it'$ going to be expen$ive. FOUR Roll$ Royce turbine$? Oh, yeah, big buck$, baby!
That said ... with an estimated range ("autonomy") of 3,200 kilometers (about 2,000 miles), the air car in the video doesn't seem to have much in the way of fuel tanks, especially for a 4 seater. Jet turbines slurp up the dinosaur juice!
All for the amazing low price of $10.99...million, that is. The everyman's flying car.

That's what I was wondering about. Where's the fuel going to go that's sufficient to power those big engines, especially those kinds of distances.

ReplyDeleteNah, we'd probably just head over to a What-A-Burger in Texas.
