Probably not good for aeros unless the cup holders are fitted with seat belts & self sealing lids....

It'd be fun to try
The 450 mile range is a bit sifling i can get a car with better range than that!

My Renault Scenic was doing 680-700

It looks very draggy and very slow. It reminds me of the very first flight I had in a light aeroplane, which was G-ACMN , a ( surviving still ) Leopard Moth which belonged to JJ Parkes, ex de Havilland and by then the Chairman of Alvis . He picked an XK 150 on the then newly opened M1 to race, and we couldn't keep anywhere near it ! Also, the fully enclosed front wheels look like a recipe for disaster if the grass was at all soft or muddy

They have been trying these contraptions since way back

It will never work

The more they become one thing the less they are the other.

You have a slow aeroplane that'll clog up airspace and an over large cumbersome car that will clog up the roads.

Too big and awkward for cities and it needs an airport so where is the advantage??

The advantage that I can think of, is that you can land at your nearest airfield and then drive it home to your garage instead of having to pay hangar or parking fees.

My Smart has about the same range as this machine Garry

It was the swing wings that had me worrying about G limits...The Tornado works well on them but they are built to full military specs!

I think the automotive side of the suspension is a little ridged. The way it took the drop off the hanger footer leaving the hanger
makes me think It wouldn't take a pothole in the road at speed very well.

PS
the Mobile side gets 110 more miles than it's Aero side.
