    the flying “car” in question. Just seems like a quadcopter to me, but I guess that’s why I’m not in marketing.

      Ya would think a flying car would at least have wheels. The marketing is doing the heavy lifting lol

        Is there something I’m missing? I only count 5 so it’s a pentacopter.

          There is another rotor hidden behind the cabin, you can barely see it though the window
