JimKB1MCV Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I seem to remember the semi-regular announcement of a new flying car in several of the Popular Mechanix type mags from the '40s, '50s and '60s touting the coming flying car revolution. I'm still waiting but I started breathing again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC38dls Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It has been certified for flight in an Eastern Europe country where they are being made. Can’t remember where the news said it was. dave s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhigdog Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Three "certified for flight" aircraft spring to mind. The DeHavilland Comet had a nasty habit of coming apart midair. The Lockheed Electra would sometimes shed an outboard engine/propeller inflight and cut it's own wing off. Boeing's 737 Max 8 had a propensity to over ride the captain's inputs and fly itself into the ground.............Just sayin...........Bob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfectly said! A few years ago, the very enlightened city of Grass Valium (where I unfortunately live) spent over a million dollars to replace a four-way stop sign intersection with a roundabout. I told people before it was begun that it would never work as intended. People that cannot figure out how to work a four-way stop sign are NEVER going to understand how to approach a roundabout They work in Europe because in Europe they still teach people how to drive. I of course avoid that intersection during busy times. I love going through it at off times because I can go through it like a slalom racer!
