If you watch the video, it specifically addresses these two concerns -- it is an ultra-light aircraft so a pilot's license isn't necessary, and it's VTOL so you don't need a runway or airport.
Not saying it will work, but these specific objections aren't relevant to this particular whirlygig.

- spc476 16y agoI live about 2500 feet from an airport (in fact, my home is pretty much in the landing flight plan); I'm not sure how the airport authority would feel about this much less an ultralight. In fact, thinking about it, I'm not sure how much time a flying car would save me. Even though I'm half a mile from an airport, and work is only four miles from an airport, the two airports are 12 miles apart. Right now, it takes around 35 minutes to drive. With a flying car, it might take, what? 20 minutes? I suspect any time I saved might be taken up with flight clearance.
