Re:Terrafugia's flying car model has been approved for tests... by jacquesm on Monday December 21, 2015 @10:03AM (#10771335)
Not really, the Osprey has much more horizontal wing surface relative to its size and it has a tail surface and double stabilizer as well. That's a completely different geometry much closer to a conventional aircraft than the subject of this thread. This new vehicle also has a ducted fan for more forward thrust (I suspect this is because mounting larger tilt rotors was impossible given the constraints on height of the vehicle).

It'll be a close race between this one and the Moller sky car which one will hit the dealerships first.

/sarcasm.
