X-Hawk

Still a good ways from reality, the flying car or "fancraft" research and development by Israel’s Urban Aeronautics is moving ahead. And up and hovering. See the video here of a remote-controlled demo model in action.

The flying car

The original popular science dream vehicle is actually under development by Urban Aeronautics, an Israeli aerospace company, Bell Helicopter, the University of Pennsylvania, and the feds. With military and civilian uses, from medevac to gunship to bridge inspection. Be sure to read some of the notices at the site, particularly by Aviation Week. Won’t be cheap enough for private commuting at first, if ever. But maybe down the road.
