Long ago. Molt Taylor produced his Aerocar, approved by the government for production and operation on road and air, in 1949. Earlier efforts date back to 1937 and before. All this seems new when you don't know the history.
No rational objection to being approved for operations on both ground and air. Do you want the vehicle to be a crappy car, and/or a crappy airplane?
I really don't want to see cars flying around.
You won't.
Someone built a flying car about 20 years ago.
Thanks to government bureaucracy, it had to be registered as both an automobile and an aircraft.
