If you look at the picture and instead of seeing the two cowled wheels imagine a sharper nose with just the one wheel then this aircraft/plane would work.

There would be much less drag, less weight, better performance.

I asked the question WHY 2 wheels when most aircraft have a single nose wheel which would also improve the landing ability.

I was told that the need for 2 wheels was explained on top gear but still no explanation as why?

This aerocar COULD be a real winner but NOT in the MK1 version they have churned out.
