One of the so-mad-I-love-it series, of which there'll probably be only one entry, this flying car seen at Half Moon Bay... of which I've also fond memories dating back to the GoFly Challenge centred thereabouts.
The body a grid that forms a multifaceted wing when tilted to face the airflow, which required the cabin to rotate through the same ninety degrees so that you can see where you're headed.
It's rightly attracted investment, and rightly so as we'd all want one in order to skip around those jams, which are a permanent feature of LA for instance.
What a lot of this modern electrical tech is doing is to revive the inspiration of failed genius of past times. Check out Horatio Phillips 'multiplane' for instance, along with others with upto two hundred separate wings:
Horatio did this work, along with much more in aeronautics, over a hundred years ago. Although what I most feel affinity for was the fact it was all taking place among Streatham Hill in South London, where I used to drink back in the day.
Well done Alef, well done Horatio, and well done me.
