Flying car to use bio-fuel on London to Timbuktu flight

The other day, I lamented the lack of an electric flying car.

Now, I learn that some Brits have come up with a flying car that will run on biofuel. Not only that, they plan to fly it from London to Timbouctou (using the King's English spelling).

The Skycar, an all-terrain, road-legal buggy that doubles as a parasailer, is the vehicle. The Skycar actually goes faster on land (120 mph) than it can fly (70 mph). But, oh to fly.



Can't wait for the production version of this car? The Parajet Volution comes with the motor, wing and helmet, for the price of a slick 6,000 British pounds. Order here.
