Wait this is actually sponsored by ford? And they admit to not even working on flying cars!

Forget the damn house...where's our flying car huh?

I believe this is the technology that will bring the flying car into massive usage.

correction electric flying cars

oh yeah? It's the 21st century...we were supposed to have flying cars by now.

how does it handle an EMP?

/wants his post apocalyptic ready flying car last week

I am still waiting for a flying car, this will do actually.

Would have liked it better if they used more measurable statistics. Computing power of the human brain / human race and the price of computers fifteen years in the future is flying car kind of stuff.

I'm getting older and realize that the future didn't work out like I had hoped. No flying cars. No cities on the Moon. But on the other hand, we have lasers cheap enough to be used as cat toys.

/sarcasm on
Its a good thing he check out halo and other games. Cause god knows how much gaming programmers know about making body armor.
/sarcasm off

Yeah there isn't a suit in the world other than some of the bomb techs gear that can handle small stuff but you will still lose your fingers and the shock wave can still cause serious internal injury's. The biggest killer in a bomb blast is the shrapnel then the shock wave causing hydro shock. The water and fluids pass the shock waves at different rates than others. So your liver is moving faster than the connective tissue and you have some serious internal bleeding not to mention your brain becomes compressed and then springs back causing bruising and an increase in pressure. The Halo 2 suits look great but they are unrealistic. Watch for more flying cars before you see these in an army any time soon.

Yeah and Bikeman is right unless its an sniper shooting at stationary target the neck hit isnt likely. In halo maybe, real life no. Yeah try throwing a ruck sack over that and carying the 125 lbs of beans and bullets for 3 days yeah its not happening.

And farhad shouldering a rifle with a flack jacket (with plates) and tac vest on isnt that easy but you manage. Running with it on is bitch too but you manage.

This was once thought impossible?

The reporting of details leave a bit to be desired, all they say about efficiency is that it's "very good". Sure, I believe you...

Maybe I'm just dissappointed that it wasn't a flying car as I had hoped from the title

Moeller is a scam artist. He has been promising this "flying car" with in the "next 5 years" since the 1950's. Yet somehow, his invention has been pushed back an additional 5 years everytime he has lacked an actual product to sell to the public. But that hasn't stopped him from taking millions and millions of dollars from investors for most of his life (and of course living a very wealthy life). He was finally sued fairly recently for fraud.

Eh, when I was thinking about flying cars as a kid I didn't picture traditional propulsion. I mean that thing is way more realistic; it has an engine that pushes air down so that it can stay up.
But we were supposed to have cars like on the Jetsons.
I'm going to berate our modern engineers until they find a new form of propulsion.
