Flying Car Flies From London To Africa
krou writes "It may not be exactly what people have envisioned or tried over the years, such as the flying car in Bladerunner, or the previously reported Terrafugia Transition, but the BBC is reporting that a flying car (creatively dubbed the Skycar, but different from this Skycar) has flown from London across into Africa. They modified a parajet fan that can fly a man into a bigger fan with a canopy that is capable of flying a car."

I'd rather have a flying car that doesn't fly me into ANY sized fan, thankyouverymuch.
What doesn't kill you only delays the inevitable
But is it an European or an African flying car?
Colorless green Cthulhu waits dreaming furiously.
Thanks. I looked at "flying a man into a bigger fan" and thought that sounded really messy.
Intron: the portion of DNA which expresses nothing useful.
Just consider the implications of this amazing NEW technology. Cars are just the beginning, we can finally give penguins the gift of flight as well!

Yo dawg, we heard you like flying with fans, so we put a fan inside a bigger fan so that you can fly a man into a bigger fan with a canopy that is capable of flying a car.
