Whoa. It sounds technologically feasible.
The projected empty weight of AEROCAR 2000 is 2580 lbs. Add the pilot, fuel, baggage, passenger, the gross weight comes up to 3450 lbs. With 350 horsepower available for take off, it should have excellent acceleration, climb and cruise speed.
Only thing is, he forgot to mention a parachute. :shock:

Where is our rocket scientist's opinion?
