Another "Roadable" Aircraft?

Looks like the folks at Terrafugia might have a competitor entering the marketplace. Albeit with a slightly less refined solution. The Maverick is essentially a dune buggy attached to a powered parachute, and is targeted to make life easier for those folks working in hard to reach places. I admire the simplicity of the design, not a lot of creature comforts, just what you need to get yourself downrange.

It probably won't go head to head against the folks at Terrafugia, but it's nice to see some more innovation in this whole drive it and fly it space...
