The idea comes from Michael Moshier and Robert Bulaga, his team of aircraft engineers that previously developed SoloTrek XFV (Exo-skeletal Flying Vehicle). And they're building on this experience to attempt to create a hybrid multi-passenger VTOL flying car:
"Ever since the Jetsons, we've been promised that an air car is just around the corner," says Moshier, "but the technologies and knowledge necessary to build such a machine have not been available - until now! And it will be developed here in the USA!"

The 'idea' is rather old: In  the movie Blade Runner you can see vehicles like that. So it does not come from Moshier and Bulaga...

You are cordially invited to see my StrongMobile Flying Car Project at http://www.strongware.com/dragon. You can view a 2-minute video of my full-size mockup model and consider the part about "Busting the Myths".
I would greatly appreciate any opinions or recommendations you may care to offer.
