Caught In A Jam? Try The Flying Car!

The next time you are driving a car and caught in a traffic jam, just remember that in about an years’ time, you will have an option of driving on a flying car. The US aviation authority has given its nod for commercial production of this car which can both fly and drive on the road giving you a choice to go up when you come across bumpy roads or come down when its not the right weather to be in the air.

A Wobern, Massachusetts company, Terrafugia, has been allowed to build the first flying car and this amusing video is sure to fascinate you to atleast be your next dream car! The Terrafugia Transition® is a prototype vehicle designed by five MIT graduates.

As per reports, this flying car is just the right choice as the wings unfold in about seven minutes and it is estimated that it will cost $194,000. Interestingly the company reports that it has already received 70 pre-orders with $10,000 deposits for the flying car. In other words it’s a roadable aircraft that can take off and land from any airport, and with the push of a button fold up its wings and drive down the road.

When it’s in the car mode, the wings fold and it can travel at speeds of up to 90 mph. For flight mode the wings unfold, in which it can cruise at a speed of 115 mph for up to 500 miles on a tank of unleaded gasoline.
