    After my waiting 5 decades for that "flying car," per Popular Mechanix, it's finally arrived!
    Why no fixed landing gear? Too ugly?

    They want to keep the weight down, as it's battery-electric.

    https://www.opener.aero/

    Considered an ultralight, it has a range of 25 miles in the U.S. version (legal limitations) and 40+ miles internationally. Pilot weights of 250 lbs. in the U.S. and 200 lbs. internationally (due to extra batteries). Cruise speed of 62 mph U.S. & 80+ mph internationally.

    Price? "In full production, BlackFly will be the price of an SUV. We are vague about the exact price so as not to overpromise."
