Flying Car Crashes In British Columbia

First time accepted submitter vawarayer writes "An experimental car has crashed near a school in British Columbia, Canada. Only five cars like this have been produced. From the article: 'A release from the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) confirmed the flying car was "an American corporately registered I-Tech Maverick SP Powered Parachute" that had crashed. The vehicle, known as "Maverick," uses a 100-metre runway to take off and flies under a parasail. But it also needs a 100-metre runway to make a safe landing.'"

It is a streetable car, and it does fly. What was the specific complaint? That it doesn't look like you want one to look, and has more constraints on the flying cars you want? It's a powered paraglider contained within a car. You can drive the car to the runway and takeoff and fly. No, it's not the futuristic looking jet cars (like the Moller, 5 years away from approval/sale for 30 years now), but I fail to see how "flying car" doesn't apply.

Here is a board that's white, so it's a whiteboard. Sorry if that doesn't satisfy your "but I need to write on this" dreams.
