Eh, not exactly. I'm curious as to what sort of a contraption it is.

That's always been the idea behind flying cars.

The ones that turn into planes are just planes that can be driven around a little easier than a normal plane.

If you want flying cars to work in a real city, they need VTOL capabilities.
