I've been subscribing to numerous car mags over many decades.
I've never seen that one. Ha looks like the front end of my wife's runabout
in high school. The good ol' Mustang II. :-/
Actually looks like a Mustang II the more I look at it.

This one actually flew. For about two minutes, then it crashed resulting in the death of both occupants. I remember reading somewhere that the wing struts weren't quite fastened securely. Another ill fated attempt to make a car that also flies. Just another sad story in the history of this little car.

IIRC, Molt Taylor did a flying car back in the early fifties and it worked! Practical? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I think Bob Cummins (the Comedian/Actor) had one also. The 1st Flying Car will look somewhat like that homemade flying chair that you posted from youtube.

Never had seen or heard of this set up before. Unfortunate for the occupants as well.

Besides being wrong, It looks so wrong.....

Just my opinion however

Elliot...
I dig that old story of the flying chaise lounge chair with a bunch of balloons tied to it. The descent mechanism was the bb gun that the pilot brought along ; just pop some ballons and hang on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)
