So finally the day of the flying car has finally arrived and now everyone is against it?

I have to say it's a brilliant, deceptively simple idea. I'm really not sure about the idea of travelling across Africa to make some point or other!

However I have spotted an immediate flaw. The article says it travels at speeds up to 80mph. Which probably means in a dive with the wind behind it. The reality is that it probably cruises around 30 to 40 mph. Into a headwind you would be quicker driving.
