No that is cool :y18:
I, too, think it is cool. If it were affordable, I would like to have one.
Ummmmm....OK, I can see where a motorcycle enegine would make it go on the ground. So what's the propulsion that it uses to fly???
Jet engine powered.
I don't see any jet engine however.
1. It's not a bike
2. addresses the “growing demand for flying cars and roadable aircraft,â€
Yeah, that's demand has been VERY high and in all the headlines lately...
3. The previous model – the SkyBike – relied on telescopic wings, but this latest version is much more advanced
Yet neither one has actually flown...
4. The new scissors wing design shaves 90kg off its predecessor while allowing greater range and lower maintenance cost.
The actual range and maintenance cost of the original model were never known; so how can this be a true statement?
5. Pricing remains a tightly guarded secret
I wonder why?
6. Samson is hoping to unveil ground-only models by next year.
I'll rebate $1,000 to anyone on this forum that buys one and takes delivery of it before 12/31/2010.
I'll chip in another $1,000 if it flies, and $5,000 total if it achieves FAA certification for flight.

Paul, I think you are right on target.
