I just noticed something on that skycar website. Watch the videos of the car being tested for hovering. Everything looks normal until you see it drift to one side, and then you realize it's attached to a crane.

I did see the crane, but I didn't see a cable.

I heard what you mean about the noise, that thing's way too loud for a car. Of course, it is the first of its kind, or so I thought. I'm sure they'll come up with quieter, and more car-like models in the future.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_...pment_examples.

Or do you want something more like this?
