Yes. Did you see my response to your other post about max speed, etc?
People aren't going to do it because it's fast or efficient.
If that were true, I wouldn't even fly my plane.
Ninety percent of the trips I take would be cheaper if I drove or flew
commercial.
I do it because I *want* to do it.

I was sure that the original proposal was to fly the first part of a trip,
then drive the rest, to make it possible to save time (AND enjoy)
commuting.
No?

Yes.
Saving time would be nice.
Independence (not relying on a taxi, etc) is the key factor for me.
Still being able to fly, but then after landing, still being PIC of my craft
would simply be cool.
Being able to go anywhere I want, whenever I want, without relying on anyone
else... that's my personal goal.
Flying *almost* gets me that.
That's why I originally made the post.

I've been looking at some designs out there.
Some are complete crap.
Others seem feasible.
I don't believe for a minute that it is not technically possible.
Some big problems areas have been raised.
Like most problems, though, it will be solved if someone throws enough money
at it.
