I remember being appalled when I saw one of the prototype Piasecki "Flying Jeeps" at the Army Aviation Museum at Ft. Rucker. The fan props were made of wood! It would seem to be a control nightmare in the analog world that conceived it. Still...a romantic thought.

 A friend's dad had a "flying" boat that was about 7 feet long and 4 feet wide . It was designed with a fan tunnel , but was fortunately missing any kind of motive power or fan

Wouldn't make the FED DOT car requirements so it would have to marketed as a motorcycle.  That would limit sales too besides the insurance requirements.

Bought a mildly wrecked Bensen Gyrocopter a couple years ago...yes I will buy anything.  The guy who owned it knew nothing about how they worked. He thought he would run it around the field behind his house just to get a feel for it...freaked out when it jumped up off the ground and nose dived it...his had the power prop assist, really make for a quick hop up....I sold it before I was tempted to fix it and fly it.
