Personal SUV of the Sky

BoomZilla writes "While we're all waiting for the personal jet packs we were promised in the magazines of our youth, another 'personal flying car' has entered the fray. The Taero 4000 will exist in the car/plane category, but will require a pilot's license and will operate from airports (...no lifting off from the back yard). The Taero has an interesting folding wing concept: '[the] wing fold system will enable automatic transformation from air to land travel with the wings folding to a position parallel with the fuselage'. The target base price for the Taero 4000, in assembly kit form, is $400,000 U.S. dollars (does not include assembly[!] or optional extras). According to the site, 'Taero is scheduled for first delivery in 2007'. The FAQ makes interesting reading. Competition for Moller International's SkyCar?"

This is not anywhere.

They don't even know how long it's gonna take to change it from a plane into a car. It's just more losers speculating about a product that does not exist but which could be made available given jackasses with a half mill and a bunch of sucker investors.

I have already saw this before. And it didn't work out so good. So, yeah. I don't think so.

Flying cars. Still a dream. To be continued...

Bigpat, I bet you drive an SUV two blocks to buy a magazine. How about the full-assed grab of $90 billion and 1000's of dead for the fuel in your car, and the sprawled out cities and freeways and brown skies and high cancer rates? I'd pay half my salary to the full-ass grabbers to have a clean environment with facilitated by public mass transit.
