sadly that thing doesnt fly but it looks very pleasing in the eyes. It reminds me of those 80's sci-fi movies that predicted flying cars will be everywhere by year 2000, sadly its 20 12 already and no real flying buses and cars until now. The design of the bus do look like its going to fly eventhough its not, Its all aesthetic. I guess for now lets enjoy the illusion the bus's design provides.
