Very cool, thanks BillK.  For a long time I have been convinced that if we
get flying cars, they will be autogyros like this one.  This one combines
autogyro with a notion I have long thought practical, the three wheel
leaner.  

The leaning three wheeler has several of the advantages of a motorcycle but
solves two big problems: weather exposure and the helmet requirement.  The
weather exposure problem is obvious, but the helmet thing is bigger than we
boys realize: the ladies don't like to put their hair in a helmet before
work.  Fully enclosed vehicles generally do not require helmets.
