That is a plane. Not a car.

Its an incredibly retarded overpriced plane shaped like a car, but it is a plane.

That's not the kind of flying car I was promised 50 years ago. It's just a car that transforms into a plane. And it can't take off during traffic jams.

Its got a propellor wings and control surfaces. Its not a car. Its not even a useful plane.

I'm not overly concerned with how it looks, but with what function it serves. And it can function as both a car and a plane. But it isn't particularly good at either of these functions.

And the promise of a flying car is to take off during a traffic jam. Otherwise what's the point.

If everyone can take off during a traffic jam, then where does the traffic jam go?

It disperses, since there's more space up in the air. Cars can not only go by in more than three to four lanes, they can also fly on top of each other.

Flying cars should be some kind of antigravity tech. This is still an impressive piece of engineering, but it's not a truly new technology and therefore hardly futuristic.

We've had helicopters for a while now.

Woah I have a great idea: HeliCARPters. Join hundreds of carp together with a prop on top and ride them wherever you want!

In what part of Africa was this designed?

I think the new corvette would be a good looking front end for this type of flying car
