hundreds of 2-seat cars with 400+ hp in serial production and thousands
being produced by tuning workshops. The only way for such cars, to avoid the
traffic jam on public roads, is to fly! Please have a look at

Pretty CAD picture you have there. IMHO, there is no market for such
a vehicle beyond perhaps a handful of eccentrics. The rest of the
pilot population would continue to drive non-aircar cars, fly
non-aircar airplanes, and simply call a cab or rent a car at a
destination airport when necessary. At least your aircar concept has
wings, unlike several of the "Jetson" aircar concepts out there. The
"Jetson" aircars are suppose to liftoff vertically and take mom to the
grocery store with the push of a button -- equally ill-concieved but
for different reasons.

Least you think I'm totally against aircars, I found this aircar
concept somewhat appealing,
