I'm a huge fan of the Opener Blackfly, which has been physically designed for VTOL-like performance while providing a very simple flight mode during the transition from level to VTOL:
The angle of attack of the lifting surfaces is intentionally offset so that, when the Opener reaches certain speed limits, aerodynamics take over and the plane switches modes automatically, without requiring much pilot input.
I can't wait to see these things buzzing around the skies - imho, this is the closest to 'the flying cars promise, fulfilled' so far ..
