(I'm a pilot) What is cool about airplanes is that there are a few private experimental models that go about 150 mph at better than 50 mpg. There is now a competition to get a 100 mpg airplane that travels at high speeds. Flying the plane is always more fun than being a passenger.

It looks like the type of idea that's good in theory but not practical in reality, not just design-wise but also financially and releasing it to the consumers to travel on etc. I wouldn'y mind an aviation job flying one of them though! I can imagine it would be more fun than being a passenger, especially with the lack of window seats :) @eljun Good point.
