Reminds me of vaporware Moller Skycar[0] and Gyrocopters[1] from yesteryear. [0] https://moller.com/ https://moller.com/ [1] https://i.imgur.com/JisWKOR.jpg ht

  Gyrocoptors have been, and still continue to be a thing, for like... 85 years. The design has not been ever marketed as a "flying car" (to my knowledge), though it does have a relatively short takeoff roll compared to conventional aircraft. Search for "autogyro".

  I hope people give up on this 1950's-era mythological obsession with trying to realize a cartoon's flying saucer pods because of the potential for energy waste/climate change, public hazards and property damage.
