About as Close to The Jetsons Car as You Can Currently Get.

It’s called the Cri-Cri (That’s French for “cricket”, folks,)–and at all of about 13 feet long and boasting a whopping 16-foot wingspan, it’s also the World’s Smallest Twin-Engine Airplane! Not surprisingly, the Cri-Cri is exceptionally acrobatic, capable of performing a full roll in less than a second. Alas, it seats only one (brave, somewhat crazy and undeniably skilled) person…so no taking your buddies up for flights over the local nudist colony…

Cri-Cri, the world's smallest twin-engine airplane

Even more impressive, is the fact that French pilot Nicholas Charmont decided to up the ante–by refitting his Cri-Cri with jet engines!

    They say the air transportation industry gets a revolution every 60 years I hope this one isen’t it.

    Thanks

    I doubt it, there are several other car/plane hybrids.

    I’d agree there’s probably some sort of transport revolution due soon though.
