The Jetsons ruined everything. Whither the flying cars? And the jet pack in every garage? Weren't we meant to have these by now? Still not all space-age suburban dreams have gone the way of the moving sidewalks and robot maids. Case in point: the jet in every garage, a fantasy of mine slated to turn into reality in the form of ultra-low-cost, single-engine jets. First, I'll need to complete those flying lessons, out at the Taylor Airport...

The one that currently has my eye is the Eclipse Concept Jet. It is much like their twin jet, the 500. Still, the folks at Eclipse (those coy bastards) won't officially confirm that this single-engine model will ever be sold. This sporty, car-like four-seater has a Pratt & Whitney turbofan mounted atop the fuselage. Its tail is a large v-shaped structure, giving a place for all that jet thrust to go. And, it looks cool, too !!

I could see Bond zipping around in one of these little devils. Say hello to my leetle friend...
