Is this the design that never crashed? Most of the old V.T.O.L. designs from that time ended up as wrecks I read somewhere. This one was used for years till it was worn out. Looks like the starting point for a flying car design to me.
Because if flying cars are developed from this, normal people would not only need years of training to get a pilot's license, they were need to take off from, fly through, and land in areas where the craft wouldn't pose a hazard to people, you can't expect a person to take off from a traffic jam in one of these without the extremely hot exhaust gases posing a risk to anyone or their cars.

Now this is a practical commuter, enclose the cockpit-Traffic jams would be a thing of the past.
filmed at NASA Ames Sunnyvale CA approx. 1964 / 65

This thing was flown successfully for 25 YEARS with 25 different pilots....what the hell, why do we always here that flying cars won't work?
