grease monkey Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 This is the ugliest thing I have seen in a while. It's like a smart car, but even gayer. Fail. http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home/article/106040/Air-Cars:-A-New-Wind-for-America's-Roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 compressed air.....yeah, I'm sure it will fair well in crash testing here in the states. I believe the same visual can be had if you strap a hamster to a bottle of tire seal and pop that can with a .22cal. rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Sweet, 60 miles at 35mph. Fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Getting out of the box for a second. I can appreciate the engineering behind this. I agree, the car looks sad. Question, how is it zero pollution? How did the air get compressed, hydro-powered electric air compressor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Interesting though. I would never buy one, but would surely like to see one in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I saw info about this a while back.... they supposedly have one that can drive from Cali to NY on one tank of gas... the air compressor runs on gas and the air tanks are made of carbon Fiber.... I'm pretty sure that they could hit highway speeds and looked nothing like what was pictured in this link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
