...and the whole concept is utterly pointless. The helicopter was already invented!
True but those are kinda expensive to run! I think the new generation of auto-gyros will be the closest anyone gets to a flying car for a long time; economical and low maintenance with Rotax 912s and they only need a few yards of runway.
The paramotor/car idea is not at all practical, as they can only fly in very light winds, would probably be quicker and easier to just go overland.
