You can't drive a helicopter down the freeway. You can't land one just anywhere.

You can't with this car plane either, a runway that gives room for the wings and tail to extend AND to be out while moving forward up to speed or landing will be necessary.

The point is though it can travel on the ground to the airport.

So do cars and trains! They easily take people to the airport, where you can conveniently park your helicopter between uses.

That would be widely more practical though.

Why would flying cars be easier to land anywhere than a helicopter is? This is exactly why flying cars are impractical.

you can't land a helicopter just anywhere... so the solution to that is to "need a runway". I fail to follow the logic
