World's first proper flying car makes debut flight

What Do You Mean, "Proper?"

It has only 3 wheels, so it may qualify as a motorcycle. Then, you would need only a helmet, not a cage, air-bag, etc. However, you would need a motorcycle license, which in Virginia, USA requires extra training.

I don't call it a "proper" flying car because it has to turn into an airplane before it can fly. Rather like a Transformer. I'm waiting for a lifting body, multi-wing, or something that has a wingspan within the maximum allowable width for a car.

So the Higgs bosun(close). So, if it's Hawking, should it be the Hawking coxswains?
