However, there is footage from the press dvd we had for the launch which shows the skycar in its test flight on youtube, which should appear if you google skycar expedition.</p> p.s. in relation to press samples – If you mean press pack with dvd showing the car flying, for example, I am afraid we will not be releasing any footage until the documentary airs on Channel 4 in June.

It is a two seater.

It carries a large parachute/flexible wing. So glide!

Hope that fills in the gaps.

Does it require a pilots license, what fuel does it use, what’s the range and how much is a full tank? Do you need insurance? Who the hell insures you? Do they/can they do a two seater (assuming it’s single)? What the hell do you do when the engine fails other than saying ‘oh shit’? :)
