A flying car is called an airplane. Most of us just can't afford our own personal one.

I wouldn't count out the skycar as long as Paul moller is still around. True, its been a loooong time coming, but SUPER genious guy. This thing is bad to the bone. Seems for decades his biggest hurdle was been funding, until just recently.....

Supposed stats on the m400 were something like 300mph with a 30k ceiling.
