In the event of engine problems during the Skycar Expedition, the car would glide down to the nearest field or strip of sandy desert. Should a catastrophic wing failure take place, a ballistic reserve parachute would be deployed to bring the car and pilot down to earth.
During the expedition, the car will be supported by a team of overland adventurers using an assortment of all-terrain vehicles carrying fuel and supplies. A camera crew will record the team's adventures for use in a televised documentary about the car and its inaugural voyage.
