Flying Car

For almost a century now, people have tried to build flying cars. Through the years numerous have tried and more have failed, however, one company, Terrafugia, has come through on top. Terrafugia has taken the all pivotal first, second and third steps in producing this science fiction novelty. The FAA has just awarded the Terrafugia Transition Flying Car an exemption which will tolerate the 1,440-pound car/aircraft hybrid to fly under a "light sport" conclusion, even though it hits the scales at a whopping 120 lbs.

The flying car,planned to be a executable part of transportation that's just as cheerful in the air as it is on the ground, the Transition comes filled with all of the safety goodies of your common economy car - airbags and crumple zones come standard. While Terrafugia has not precisely said what kind of top speed the Transition can do on the streets, it does say the craft gets about 30 mpg when driving about town.

Should the weather turn sunny, however, the Transition is capable to lower its wings, fire up a rear-mounted propeller and take off where it can support a top speed of approximately 115 mph with a limit of 460 miles. The small carplane just needs an air strip of around 1/3 of a mile, and with its wings folded, can without a doubt fit in any garage. Total MSRP is expectable to be approximately $194,000.
