It was *not* a round up of flying cars being worked on. These were stories that appeared in the news during 2008. It is not about anything <i>after</i> 2008 or before. And it's not a list of the biggest stories in the history of flying car stories. So, anyone ever looking at this story in the future, please note: this is *not* going to help you in your work on a research paper unless your paper is about news stories during the year 2008.

One of its sister cars (there were four made) is currently flying. Terrafugia has also just recently flown- there is plenty of footage and news reports to confirm it. If your purpose was to document flying cars that are being currently worked on, I think you have missed many important ones. I am currently working on a senior college research paper for my technology and history class on this topic and so have spent the past few months looking at all kinds of papers, news stories, websites, footage... on flying cars. I had hoped your page might have some new leads but was disappointed by how much you missed. Most of the cars I would put in my top 10 were nowhere to be seen... I guess this was just meant to be what you saw from news articles though. Actually, the Aerocar does fly and has flown (lots of different video footage and news reports prove that).
