[Gizmodo Australia] The Flying Car That Can Blow Up The Death Star | Gizmodo Australia: I sincerely doubt that mass-market flying cars will be so closely related to modern day airplanes. We need a major shift in propulsion technologies before our society embraces everyman rush-hour pilots.

[Watch online video clip] Moller SkyCar - Flying car: DevilMaster: If you start from an aircraft and add headlights, taillights, seat belts, airbags and what else is needed to make it legally able to taxi along streets, you get a flying car. It will still be virtually indistinguishable from the aircraft you started from, but according to the law, it will ALSO be a car.

[Care Our Health] TeRRaFuGiA FLYinG CaR - ELeCTRiC DReaMs - PHiLiP OaKLeY / GiorGiO ...: Terrafugia The Transition is the first real flying car On Road and in the Skies.. I was inspired by this and made a music video dedicated to the guys who made this project possible with the song Together in electric dreams by Philip Oakley and Giorgio Moroder.

[CNET News.com] Why the flying car may be too much for humanity | Technically ...: All graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, they formed the company four years ago with the aim of creating The Transition, a car that flies--not merely in the speed sense of "flies," but rather in the "takes off and does things planes do" sense.

[Philip Greenspun's Weblog] Philip Greenspun's Weblog » The MIT Flying Car Flies: I get a rental car there and drive on some (bad) Canadian roads, then some gravel, then some dirt roads. Would I want to bounce along in a $200k vehicle that is later meant to be airworthy to keep me alive at 9,000ft?

[RawAutos.com :: Appealing to the enthusiast in us all] Editorial: The Future Of Cars: what happened to the flying cars that we were told about decades ago?! What happened to Doc Brown not needing roads where we’re going?

[Watts Up With That?] Another promise of a flying car - sigh | Watts Up With That?: It would have to be a reasonably good aircraft in order to get certified for flying, and this would automatically make it a rotten car. Well, I mean adequate stabilty margins, good spin and stall characteristics, a reasonable wing loading, ample control authority etc etc isn’t usually the kind of thing you build into a car, and I definitely wouldn’t like to fly in an aircraft that had been built to survive motorway chrashes rather than turbulence.

[Skepticblog] Skepticblog » If you buy an electric car, you suck.: If you're lucky enough not to be eaten then I recommend the 2045 model VW Golf GTi. They're going to be really retro looking.

[The Speculist] The Speculist: That Flying Car Problem: Sadly, I don't think flying cars are practical. Flying taxies and limos perhaps, where the driver is a full time pro, surrounded by full time pros, but I doubt you'll see flying cars without solving the energy problem and making the car artificially intelligent.

[Depleted Cranium] Why “Vehicle To Grid” is a horrible idea: Providing power to the grid and storing large amounts of energy in a static location is a much much different job than propelling a car around town.   Thus the systems that do one are not going to be that good at doing the other.   It’s possible that the same kind of system could do both, but it would not do both very well.   One might compare it to the concept of a flying car.   It is possible to make a car that can also function as an airplane and there have been many built over the years.   However, due to the completely different nature of the requirements, they end up being capable of both driving and flying, but don’t do either very well.

[AOPA Pilot Blog: Reporting Points] AOPA Pilot Blog: Reporting Points » Blog Archive » Flying car or ...: I would love an airplane that could land, fold the wings, and be driven 10 miles to my garage. On the other end, even the $200 hamburger is often a pain in the butt, because you are pretty much limited to on-airport restaurants, or you are subject to the whim of the FBO guy as to whether he’ll loan you the keys to the “courtesy car”, which is probably less road worthy than the Transistion.
