If you’ve always wanted to just lift your car out of a traffic jam, or just like the feel of no rubber on the road, the Gyro-coptr will be the hybrid of your dreams, employing your aerial fantasies above the earth at a height of 4000 feet while deploying like a luxury car that handles like a motorcycle back on the earth.

What’s not to love?

The Pal-V is expected to be in production by 2009, it runs on gas, biodiesel and bioethanol.

It, understandably, has some pilots looking askance.

“I’m all for the flying car concept, but as a practicing pilot, I have to say that I’m a little leery of it in practice. There are a bunch of very good reasons why getting a pilot’s license is a lot harder than getting a driver’s license, and despite the inherently stable characteristics of an autogyro, takeoff, landing, and navigation is always tricky. And unlike regular cars, which drive on roads, with a flying car, nobody is safe anywhere. Let’s hope these things get regulated effectively, or I’m building myself an underground nuke/tornado/flying tricycle shelter.”
