Ahhh memories... yellow footy pajamas, a bowl of peanut butter Captain Crunch and re-runs of The Jetsons. Flying cars are coming out of cartoons and are in development....

        (this one looks like a bug with wings)

This USA TODAY article talks about failures and successes in flying cars, including one small company that has a working prototype and is taking orders at $175,000 each. Persoanlly, I'd like to see more day-to-day use of solar and wind powered everyday products to beat the stinking gas prices which jumped more than 40 cents per gallon in the last 3 weeks. If someone could build a viable airborne personal vehicle than ran on alternative fuel or electricity that would be so hot.

If you're looking to protect and promote your invention idea, here are a few resources:

Just think girls, one of these days, we could have a night out in a flying car and cruise to Paris...(sigh).....
