Military Wants a Battlefield-Ready Flying Car

Wow this is pretty incredible, DARPA if officially pursuing ways to develop the first generation of flying type Humvee. This type of technology if ever brought to the battlefield would yield outstanding results. Why? Well, first of troops would be able to maintain moderate protection when landing and through transit on the ground, provide immediate response that is demanded on the battlefield  , and etc... The only down side as of right now that I see would the propulsion or powerplant. I suppose you could go with a turbine engine but there are several deficiencies such as land transit, turbine aren't really tried and true on land. I guess we'll leave it up to the engineers at DARPA to figure it out!--------> DARPA Flying Humvee
