Pentagon Clears Flying-Car Project For Takeoff

"DARPA has announced a 'Personal Air Vehicle Technology' project.
It will 'ultimately lead to a working prototype of a military-suitable
flying car — a two- or four-passenger vehicle that can "drive on
roads" one minute and take off like a helicopter the next. The hybrid
machine would be perfect for "urban scouting," casualty evacuation and
commando-delivery missions, the agency believes.' Wired has the summary of the project."
