If you're rich enough for this vehicle, it might be better to rent or buy a single engine plane instead. Yes, you gotta get a license but honestly after you get past the basics you'll probably fly better than Harrison Ford with little issue. I assume the real costs are going to be the hanger rental, insurance, and maintenance.

I think you'd have a far better chance of walking away from a failed engine in that plane too. Assuming it's something like a Cessna you've at least got a reasonable chance of landing it.

There's a reason the racecar frames that "inspired" this thing are made of steel and not aluminum. While this looks sturdy to a layman, I'd imagine this thing would crumple to nothing on impact.

Love to see a crash test and be proven wrong though.

Harrison Ford is in fact a very skilled pilot in real life. https://snowbrains.com/fun-fact-harrison-ford-is-a-teton-cou...
This thing can be flown from lawn to lawn.

Very different from what a plane is good for.
