   Many experimental aircraft actually worked while cold fusion has never   
   been shown to work, so there is no comparison.

   Utter nonsense.   
      
   As shown by the many flying cars made that have actually flown, they   
   are quite real and the lack of commercial success does not mean that   
   they did not or do not exist.   
      
   The one and only reason for the lack of a commercially successful   
   flying car is and always has been economics.
