From the FAQ:
For more densely populated countries, in the future there will be a network of small airstrips near recreational areas along the highway could lead to a much denser infrastructure. The ministry of Traffic in the Netherlands has started testing this concept in anticipation of the arrival of PAL-Vs in traffic. See movie (Link to movie ministry tests PAL-V ports).
Wow, they really think that there will be enough people buying these to create a need for large numbers of airstrips? Crazy :).
- Someone 14y agoThere is some spin in that FAQ. Government is, of course, involved; this thing needs permission to become road- and airworthy. The (meanwhile ex; the video must be from before October 2010) minister of transport also said it could be an option in some markets, and he said that, if these things become used widely, municipailites would have to decide on building such airstrips. He did not say the government was researching that possibility, though. So, all it was was a polite way to say "interesting; we will see whether it will fly (sorry, could not think of a way to make this pun-free. 'will take off' was the alternative I could think of)
