People have tried to make flying cars since the 60's and yet there has never been a successful product in the niche.

What people seem to overlook is that making a flying car is easy. Making it so that the FCC will allow my mom to fly it and land it in her garage is next to impossible.

If only accredited pilots can buy one the production price won't come down, and if you can only land and take off from an airport as a pilot in an expensive flying device, well then you've invented.... a plane... Congratulations you're competing with Boeing, Gulfstream and Learjet on their own turf - a highly political arena where money and conections count more than anything else.

Here's a link to a company that's beeen claiming that their flying car will go into production next year for the last ten years: http://moller.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=arti...
