Because most flying car concepts to date have flown, but would not really drive, to demonstrate it&#8217;s car abilities they drove it from Florida to Oshkosh Wisconsin for the big air show there.  It doesn&#8217;t fly very vast (only about 40 MPH), but it will take off and land in a space as small as a football field.  And, it hits 0-60 in under 4 seconds and gets about 25-30 MPG on the highway.<br \/>\nThe best part is the motivation for building it.  Profit?  Love of flying? The challenge?  Nope. They did it for the Gospel.<br \/>\nThe Maverick&#8217;s main raison d&#8217;etre is to bring Jesus and medical relief to remote areas of the world where regular cars and planes cannot go.<br \/>\nVery cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re supposed to have flying cars by now, right?
