For the moderately successful musician, a new level of convenience on the tour:

'Flying car' goes to market

(Company behind the vehicle prefers the term 'roadable aircraft')

Forget about that "caravan" or the old beetle bus.

The 500 mile range on a tank of gas might make transatlantic trips a bit of a problem (they don't mention inflight refueling), but it looks fairly user friendly otherwise if you can arrange sleeping space at the stopovers.

Of course, most of the airports it can use are just open fields, so you can carry a blanket and sleep under a wing.

Load capacity isn't given, so it might be better for fiddlers and guitarists. The average banjo or sqeeze box might be a bit too heavy to let you carry the blanket and a lunch(?).
