Test flight was inter-city for 35 minutes or so.
I am holding out for the Flux Capacitor!
Waiting for the first casualty to get popped by a purse some lady left on the roof at 5k feet
I noticed the rear wheels spinning in flight. Wonder if the tread is aggressive enough to add a bit of extra “oomph” to the cruising speed
Or, is the prop and wheels "tied" in some way? Although, I would think that the wheels would have been turning much faster.
If that were the case, wouldn't the prop likely be turning when the wheels are driving it on the ground? Unless there was some sort of clutch that disengaged the prop while on the ground, but what would the purpose be of having the wheels turn in the air if you can disengage them?
Those tires are drag in flight. Well, they’re drag on the ground too, but a little more essential on terra firma.
Stupid wet dream. You still need a pilots license, and a runway.
Anything that's built from materials light enough to fly would not hold up well to the pounding of public roads.
Now if you lived half a mile from a small airport, maybe.
Plus; people have a hard enough time managing vehicles in two dimensions, most would not do well with 3.

Oh great, now we can have asshqles in the air.
