That's not a flying car, it's just a small airplane. For it to be a car it would need to be able to drive on roads. With, you know, wheels and stuff.

That's a previously unheard-of definition.

Not only is it heard of, it exists, and is also the first line of the Wikipedia article for "flying car".

> A flying car or roadable aircraft is a type of vehicle which can function both as a road vehicle and as an aircraft

Often times the ground capability is limited but it means your landing strip doesn't need to be next to your hanger - you can drive it down the road a few miles (usually after folding the wings in).

It's a combination of the definitions for "flying" and "car".
