I could trade in my MS for this.
The TF-Xâ„¢ | Terrafugia
If they pull this off, I'd want a pilots license.

Units! 1MW to take off, for 10 seconds, is 2.777 kWh, which will get you about 8 miles.

Looks like it landed at the Manhattan heliport, which is perhaps a foreshadow of how expensive the things will be. if it ever gets off the ground

This design is incredibly unrealistic. There's no where near enough wing surface area for this thing to fly with the props horizontal.

To the industry's surprise Chinese car giant Geely bought Terrafugia. Somebody who was supposed to assess Terrafugia concepts' viability, screwed up evidently.

Talked to one of Terrafugia's principals. He told me that they rather continue to do what they have been doing
for over a decade (cause that's what they sold to Geely), then assessing solutions by outsiders.
His answer comes down to what came to be known as NIHS, the Not Invented Here Syndrome.
My solution basically comes down to making the flying and the driving things modular.
Airbus thought similarly. Mine is better though ;-)
