Israeli Flying Car Nears First Test Flight

In early 2007, Urban Aeronautics announced it'd have an "air jeep" flying car dubbed the X-Hawk ready for flight by 2009. The future's now, and while the X-Hawk isn't quite ready, the test mule almost is.

Flying cars are a great (nor for long) concept. They have just one fundamental flaw: if you have engine troubles, you're dead.
