>>I wonder if that's true. There's only one power unit - why not use the wheels to shorten the take-off run ?
>>But you're probably right - might be difficult, or even dangerous, to supply power to both drive trains as the same time..

>>Here's their spec: http://www.aeromobil.com/specification.

>>>There was a light-plane chase plane taking some of that video, and visible in some parts going at the same speed as the prototype. Even if it's a Piper Cub cruise is about 120kph, if it's a Cessna 180 etc. could be up to 200.

>>But the stall speed is less than 40 knots. And in the clip it's being visibly overtaken by a car in the background. Seems like the specs (max. ground 100mph, max air 124mph) differ from what is quoted in the article anyway.
>>
>>Interesting that it has variable attack wings (but still a very high Vr at 90mph). Must admit the cockpit looks pretty professional though.

Well at least they are unlikely to knock you off your bike (unless someone comes up with a matching flying bike :-})
