Flying car takes to the sky

(from the bbc)

The world’s first road-legal, bio-fuelled, flying car is about to embark on its maiden voyage.

Former British army officer Neil Laughton plans to journey from London to Timbuktu in the Skycar.

He described it as a type of dune-buggy that has been turned it into an aircraft with a parachute and propellor fan.

I caught the end of this on BBC news – I didn’t realise then it was buggy paragliding. Wow!

looks cool!

but it rather it be an amphibian car of some sort- just in case it falls into the ocean :wink:

hum looks intresting but wake me up when they make the flying motorbike:D

Saw this on TV and it looked like a complete waste of time to me. It’s just a buggy with big chute and a big fan at the back. No way that’s ever going to be practical or fun.
Did you see the guy land? That’s gotta hurt!!

Now, the Swiss nutter with the wings and jet back pack. That is interesting and exciting!

IIRC that guy was the one who partnerd with bear gryls to fly over everest in para gliders. he really knows his stuff, wouldnt be supprised if he built that all himself, top man!

Rubbish!

Fly higher :smiley:

it was built by a local company to me and the person who works for the company is on here they make lots of those buggys :smiley:

wot that cant see it lool^^
