In commenting on the Space Race story, Zach pointed out that the Moller Skycar is still under development (which is better than going bankrupt or just disappearing — like so many other good ideas have). If you poke around the site you can find video of flight tests and sales info. Yes, they’re taking deposits for deliveries they hope will start in 2006.
Meanwhile, the sky hasn’t fallen on the Trek Aerospace Millennium Jet either. It did a successful un-tethered forward flight test in early 2004 and the site claims more is in store.
For options available today (and for less money than either of these will take you for), you might look into the Rotary Air Force 2000 GTX-SE. For around $30,000 you can have an aircraft that can take off in less than 75 feet, land in less than 10, cruise at 80MPH (100MPH max), and burn only 6GPH.
You’ll need a full private pilot’s license with rotary wing endorsements, but it could be the ultimate commuter vehicle.

in dorky blog news…
I got my first ever "trackback" ping today, from this website, talking about flying cars. I have no idea how this came to be. Let’s hear it for internet anonymity.

[...] It’s nearing the end of 2005 and we still don’t have any flying cars like we were promised, but the GEN H-4 personal helicopter looks promising (and dangerous). Here it is in the air, and I might be crazy, but it looks to be controlled by weight-shift (even more photos). [...]
You are cordially invited to visit the website and see descriptions of the StrongMobile “Magic Dragon” Aircar Project. The project emphasizes the integration of a conventional automobile and with a (almost)conventional airplane, with automatic transformation between the two configurations.
[...] While we’re still waiting for flying cars (or even just fuel efficient cars) I’m keeping track of tiny helicopters like the GEN H-4 and this one, the AirScooter II, pictured above. [...]
[...] recent comment here reminded me to check in on our options for flying cars, now at least seven years [...]
