I recently joined the ITEC team that makes the Maverick car. They desire to have a car that meets people's needs in remote areas. Often as you work in remote or even disaster areas, roads stop or are blocked. With the Maverick you pop up the sail and fly over the problem or take the shorter straight route. It does take about 10 minutes or less to get ready to fly. Can take off in 150 feet but 300 is advised for takeoff and landing, which is significantly less normal small planes.

It is designed so that "everyday" people can fly it, because the sail it is inherently more stable than a fixed wing aircraft. It has a steering wheel that you turn right it goes right. To go higher give it more gas to go lower give it less gas. No ailerons, flaps, rudder or elevator, it uses warping of the sail to turn.

If you guys have questions about ITEC or the Maverick I would be happy to answer them. BTW I have not flown in it yet, they only have the one proto-type and three more are in production. But I have gone 92mph on the ground and it can easily take my Corvette.
