Many of us wish most strongly for a flying car while sitting in a traffic jam whilst driving around town. Jim and Chris Milner, the father-son team behind the Milner AirCar, have their eyes on commutes of up to 1,000 miles.
The four-door, four-seat roadable aircraft has a foldable main wing in the rear that slims down the vehicle to a street-legal 7 feet wide for trips to and from the nearest airport. Once there, it can take off and cruise for up to 1,000 miles at 200 miles per hour. Back on the ground, the wings fold up and the vehicle can drive away.
The company notes that the U.S. has 5,000 airports that handle light airplanes within 20 miles of 98 percent of the population. The team has built a non-flyable prototype and expects to begin working with an aeronautical engineer in 2010 to build one that flies.
