Yet another flying car

Very cool looking. 

 

An earlier prototype of the Flying Roadster by Slovakian company AeroMobil reportedly took its first test flight in October last year. The latest version will be tested a day before its premiere, on 28 October.

 

Company co-founder Juraj Vaculik said that AeroMobil had sped up the prototyping process after having seen “enthusiastic reactions of the global engineering and design community”.

 

Weighing 450 kg, with carbon-fibre wings that fold behind the cabin and a flight top speed of 124mph, the two-seater promises to be more of a flying sports car than a flying family car.

I'm not familiar with the legal hoops that one has to jump through to operate such a vehicle, but it seems like it would be a lot cheaper to just purchase a business class seat (or two) and cruise at 400 mph.  You could do that 40 or 50 times before justifying the cost of this 'car.'
