Buyers don’t need a pilot’s license to operate the aircraft, though they must complete training and take an FAA knowledge test.
That’s absolutely fucking insane. How did the FAA approve this? The only saving grace here is that the $200k price tag means few, if any, will be sold to random idiots who want a flying car.
It’s an ultralight. You don’t need a pilots license to fly one in the US. You can even build one yourself if you want to. You don’t even need any inspection or airworthiness certificate. Since they can’t legally be flown over populated areas, it’s unlikely for anyone except the pilot to get injured or killed.

There are lots of fairly standard high end cars that go for more money than that. So the potential is quite high for these to sell well
That’s horrifying to think about. Most people seem to barely be able to handle 2 dimensions while driving a car.
Yeah no kidding…
It also means the people operating them will have a high threshold for consequences and maybe not care so much about the community.
Because anything and everything about this administration is for sale.
