Default FS on eBay: A real flying car that floats and drives!

Pretty crazy... and it actually works though R&D was never completed - so it can only fly like 10 ft in the air. And you can land it in the water!

from what i can tell, there are fans in the front and rear that make it 'hover' and there is a (missing) jet engine in the back that makes it fly. notice how small the wings are? the fans would constantly be ON to keep the craft in the air, as it would not maintain leverage without them, even if it were traveling at a high rate of speed. in the listing it says he has gotten it to 10 ft. but then it starts feeling shakey. i assume that you are supposed to only lift off the ground a little bit, then the jet engine would come into play and it would 'fly'.

the 'wings' would keep it stable if it were flying fast enough, so you could go higher. the wings would not keep it in the air like a traditional jet though, the fans would... so it is in actuality a hybrid jet/helicopter.

I am going to buy it and fly it to the moon to pick up a chunk of green cheese so I can sell it on the green cheese black market that Neil Armstrong started years ago...
