I find that...highly dubious. For one thing, they claim to use the same engine for both road and flight, which means a complex (and heavy) drive train, and those wings look very small for the sort of speed they're talking about.

I think we're seeing another Moller 400 aircar.

Funny, I was under the exact same impression... Wings too small... Another Moller M400... Even the color is the same!

Yes, it does look a little fanciful ... I wonder if the body shape is meant to provide any lift in addition to the wings?
