Been a dream for over 80 years - and still no one has been capable of fulfilling the needs yet.

People are bad enough on the road, let alone in the sky. Saying these will revolutionise personal transport is a VERY long stretch. Sheesh, I can just see it when the weather turns to pot and suddenly all these non-IFR "drivers" ploughing into buildings, antennae, hills...

I don't see Cessna being overly concerned for quite some time to be honest. I applaud these guys for having a go and putting out there new designs, but the marketing rationale is old, tired and more often ignored than not. Be interesting when they finally make a 1:1 prototype.

Anyone remember the Moller aircars that were going to be in production and replacing cars...back in the 1980's... and nothing came of it.
