Pentagon Clears Flying-Car Project for Takeoff | Danger Room from Wired.com: "Pentagon mad-science division Darpa is helping build thought-controlled robotic limbs, artificial pack mules, real-life laser guns and 'kill-proof' soldiers. So it comes as no surprise, really, that the agency is now getting into the flying-car business, too.
Darpa hopes its 'Personal Air Vehicle Technology' project, announced yesterday, will ultimately lead to a working prototype of a military-suitable flying car -- a two- or four-passenger vehicle that can 'drive on roads' one minute and take off like a helicopter the next. The hybrid machine would be perfect for 'urban scouting,' casualty evacuation and commando-delivery missions, the agency believes."
