Nobody interested? The First Flying Car...

The Transition.

The Transition, during a test flight on Monday.

What they said: “The Terrafugia Transition is a street-legal airplane that can take off and land at 5,000 public airports,” Anna Mracek Dietrich, Terrafugia’s chief operating officer, said in an interview. “If you want to land and continue on, on the ground, the wings fold up in less than a minute. Then, it is legal to operate at highway speeds in all 50 states.” Ms. Dietrich said the Transition has been approved for aeronautical and highway use by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It actually passed simulated crash tests, and has a 5-m.p.h. bumper.

For $279,000, Terrafugia Transition Puts the Wind Beneath Your Wings

Is this a relation to a thing called a Rutan Long-Ez? hmmm Freaked out now, cuz I saw one of these bloody weird looking things in the sky last week. Only found out what it was called by googling 'strange futuristic planes'! I did see this car/plane thing whilst researching what I saw. Is it a bird, is it a plane? I really haven't got the foggiest, ha ha! biggrin

i'm interested. wave there was even a thread about flying cars here a few weeks ago...

i think at first it will be fun to fly cars around, but then it will suck when things become overcrowded. mid-air accidents will affect the populace below, tailgating WILL go to the skies because folks are just that stupid and, well, i'd love to have a flying car anyway.
