there are lots of back-yard inventors ;who had ,one way or another ;invented flying-vehicles,but the goverment would not and will not ;support these invention because if these perpetual-powered motor,are release to the general public?the goverment will LOSE ;hundreds of thousands of il ;revenue dollars,I ,for one inventor,invented a gassless ;no batteries magnet-motor,and I ,m scared to patent it;cuz the military will use my machines to kill?I,m rather a PACIFIST,I dont like war,cuz both sides get killed in the process ,of war,it,s the lobbyist and big corporations who encourages war,because they are the manufacturers of soldiers uniforms,shoes,food,vehicles,tanks,fighter-planes submarines,and destroyers,and so on,it,s huge,big money gained;for these merchants of war;not forgetting the guns,missiles ,ammunitions.it goes on ,in other parts of the world,so to hell;with thesehuman-destroyers,cuz human-life is the most precious thing in the world.THOU SHALL NOT KILL.

When they figure out how to do anti-gravity drive, we will have flying saucers. Air vehicles are doomed to failure.

The most unbelievable part: “Greeting his neighbor who rides with him…” Carpooling rarely works.

…And that has to be the coolest house I’ve ever seen. Of COURSE it has a flying saucer!

But I really, really like the headline!! FLYING SAUCERS FOR EVERYBODY!

I think I’ll put that on a sign and stick it on my front lawn.

Rick@4 is right, the air-traffic control system seems specifically designed to make it difficult to use anything but airports for flight. of course the danger of crazy flyers over populated areas is real.

All of these “Fly out of your garage” aircraft are such a joke. People can’t drive cars properly in two dimensions, so naturally adding a third dimension to navigate makes so much sense.

The US still has a “manual” air traffic control system, which requires verbal radio communication in crowded flight areas. In large cities, there would never be enough radio channels (and controllers) to handle the constant communication.

This is going to take off from a graveled back yard – forcing blast air down and then sucking air over the top of the low wings and through the propeller? After it breaks maybe it can be used as a wood chipper.

The saucer-shape is actually quite unstable in forward flight, which might explain why we aren’t flying around in these even after fifty years.
