It's the stuff kids' dreams are made of: a car that can fly. One moment you're heading into a nasty stretch of traffic, the next you're sailing into the sky.

Most idle daydreams along these lines see the would-be pilot blasting off in a Harrier Jumpjet-style contraption, but Dutch engineers PAL-V have other ideas - helicopter-shaped ideas, no less.

So feast your eyes on their take on the immortal flying car concept - the appropriately named PAL-V ONE, which stands for Personal Air and Land Vehicle.

Amazingly, it uses the same regular fuel we do in our cars, though there are plans for the later models to use biodiesel and bio-ethanol too.
