In my last article about Terrafugias car plane combo I talked about my criticism and doubts about their awkward Inspector Gadget car plane combo. Well today in this article I'm going to tell you why they're not selling their car plane combo and the delay. For years people have flown in winged airplanes and even owned them for a high price like flight insurance, buying it for over $100,000 and the long 40 hours of training you have to go through just to fly, on top of that you have the high risk of crashing to your death. Even though FAA approved their flying car, I do not think that they're going to attract buyers with their steep price of $200,000 especially average pilots because right now pilots would rather buy an airplane that's $50,000 and deal with airport hassles than waste $200,000 on a risky flying car. Me if I had $200,000 and had to choose to buy a house or a flying car, I'd choose to own a house because I feel much safer in my house than driving and flying a car because I do not want to die in a flying car. Terrafugias business plan is very poor, look at the history of people attempting to sell their so called flying car their business failed or they died in the crash and the weight issues of lighter planes and heavier cars.
Carl Dietrich I think you need to call off the selling of your car plane combo right now and just do air taxi rides, no one's going to want to waste $200,000 for a flying car that could crash to the ground or risk the wind blowing them over while driving. And buyers beware, this is not the right kind of flying car because you need airports and the flying car can get blown over by gusty winds and getting a pilots license will cost you over $7000 dollars. For now stick with the 20th century winged planes until someone perfects a VTOL flying car.
