Project 0027 – Flying Car

Project 0027 – Flying Car 

See the Step-by-Step Project Guide

    The Obama administration promised you change and now with its new transportation partner, the new GM (Government Motors), a totally new concept in public transportation is emerging. The government has always been the watchdog for the automotive industry and the soon to be announced Rail Highway System will deliver on safe, regulated transportation by converting the interstate highway to third-rail synchronized transport.

  Although that system is on the drawing boards the administration realizes the important people (the wealthy and politically powerful) will need a vehicle to get them where they need to go and get there fast. Before the government’s billions run out, the administration decided to make GM develop the “Flying Car Project (FCP)” for the elite class first.

  The new FCP uses an electric propulsion system originally developed for the Volt concept car to travel short distances to the nearest airport and that’s where the fun starts.  Powered by a miniaturized version of GE’s CF34 twin jet engines from the A-10 Warthog fighter/bomber this powerhouse has a top speed of 533 MPH and a cruising speed of 275 MPH. How else could the first lady make it to her nail appointment in New York at noon and get to the keynote address for a $1,000 a plate dinner in Chicago on the same day!

  All this convenience comes at a price. The FCP starts at around $250,000. But that’s just a drop in the bucket when the taxpayer is footing the bill. Unfortunately, you won’t find an FCP at your local GM dealer. You have to know people to get one.
