Kind of interesting- I have been into- and working on- aircraft my whole life....back in the 70s a company was working on a flying Ford Pinto...it would have a removable wing/tail/engine (From a Skymaster)...the test vehicle had this installed, but stu-pidly, they used POP-RIVETS to hold the wing-struts to the bottom of the rocker panels....during a test flight one strut came loose, but the PROFESSINAL test pilot was able to land it safely (Without TURNING it)...
A few weeks later the inventor and the company president took it for a test flight- the wing strut separated again....but the non-professional pilot tried to turn and the wing folded...both were killed in the crash.

A guy named Moller has been trying to develop a flying car for over 50 years....Several prototypes....
