Could we make cars that can fly?

Hi Gavin. I am wondering if it is possible to make a car that flies. Is it possible? Marianne

Yes.  And it has been done.  The possibility – and the problem – are best understood if you look at it the other way around.  Would it be possible to make an aircraft that could drive around on the ground?
