Even if this was real, could you imagine the kind of destruction this would cause, the thrust would be enormous. It would leave a trail of destruction everywhere it went. There's no way it gets approved. And who would approve it..the FAA? Because that shit is definitely not below the weight of a private plane.

Its a stunt. But there is a really awesome car out there called the mcmurty speirling thats worth your attention.

You're right. The US Government would never approve this! Right?

It won't even get to that point. Whatever he showcased, he'll never get the amount of thrust required to perform those maneuvers and also have a functional car.

Either it has to be entirely rocket engines and fuel with no room for a ground drivetrain, or it'll be twice the size of a regular car to accommodate rocket engines and fuel.

Im not one to trust this corrupt govt especially whwn it comes to personal favors to billionaires but my guess is that this still is beyond what they can just rubber stamp
