Just for anyone who was wondering. Seems pretty reasonable for a light aircraft, that is also a car. This is really cool, I must admit, but I wonder who the target market is? The two people I know that have private planes seem to have no problem renting cars at the airport.

One of the cool things about your car and plane being the same is when weather gets shady you can always land and drive. This makes it easier to make the safe choice - not flying through bad weather.

I'd love these guys to get into production, the notion of a roadable plane is pretty awesome, especially in more remote places.
