What will they think of next? Here's a story I found reported by aol.com:"In a project straight out of Star Wars -- or maybe an April Fool’s edition of Popular Mechanics -- the U.S. Defense Department is working on a flying car that can carry four soldiers into combat.
This machine is supposed to take off and land vertically, fly at speeds up to 120 knots, drive on roads up to 80 mph, and go off-road up to 30 mph. It must be simple enough for any Marine to fly, it must be quiet, and it must carry enough fuel to stay aloft for two hours. They’re calling this machine the Transformer."
Let's see - this sounds vaguely familiar... Ah yes, but I think they should call it Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! Maybe the Defense Department and Dick Van Dyke can work together on this project.
