Flying Car

You can call it a flying car or an aircraft that can be driven on roads. This flying machine is called “Transition®”. This thing is created by a company named Terrafugia, Inc. USA. This actually is a remarkable achievement in history because there were a lot of rumors from time to time about cars that can fly, but none of them are as successful as this one.

Now the main question is: why lot of flying cars were unsuccessful while this one is not? According to the team, the Transition® has the advantage of modern engines, composite materials, and computer-based avionics. Terrafugia’s philosophy is to design a vehicle for pilots that brings additional ground capability to an airplane instead of attempting to make a car fly. First customer delivery is anticipated to be in fourth quarter of 2011. Refundable airframe reservations are currently being accepted to hold a place in production. Over 70 aircraft have been reserved, representing an order backlog of $14 million.
