With revolutionary advancements in auto engineering, difference between an on road and an aerial ride has reduced in a great way, at least in speed and comfort. However, riding the Jetstream air propelled car with its unique design and body, which is finished with the identical techniques as homebuilt aircraft such as those Rutan aircraft of the 70’s, is by no means lesser than riding a plane. The one-off custom build car runs on gasoline and get its power from 400 cubic inch Chevy small block, driving through a 2 to 1 reduction drive to a six blade, 54″ propeller. Though, the fiberglass and urethane body is as light as two people can easily lift the car, but its propeller generate awfully loud noise. If you really wanna enjoy aerial pleasure on roads, the air car is up for grabs, bid starts from $10,000, at eBay.

I wonder how the bidding went along. This is a really interesting car. It has the Perf Accessories to make it into a cross between a car and an airplane. Hopefully they will be able to reduce the problem first.
I love a car that fly. No more traffic anymore. If ever I have one I will put engine performance chips so it will go zoom zoom.
