I for one think it is pretty cool, even if it is just a concept. Obviously serves a very specific use case but if it had the range I could definitely see lots of people buying this to get around in Australia. The Sydney-Melbourne air corridor is one of the busiest in the world, and if little plane cars like this could land in small airports without making a lot of sound... who knows. I could see a lot of businessmen forking out even a million dollars for one of these given a lot of them are spending close to that on their Ferraris. Here's to innovation. And even if this never goes anywhere - here's to someone having the audacity to create something like this.

- mk3 13y agoThe concept is flawed for this one. As you need to combine two different things in one. Also on their demo video you can see that it's quite unstable. Most of the guys who are actively flying wouldn't consider this "plane" as a good investment. Also as someone pointed out there was such thing before. And I really expected someone released VTOL airship, which is basically combining helicopter and plane, you are getting the possibility to land in your yard, but also speeds of plane while flying.
