Flying Car Cleared for Takeoff
A flying car or "roadable aircraft" made by Terrafugia called the Transition has received special exemptions from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Jonathan Welsh has details. (online.wsj.com) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It seems to me that one of the biggest problems in general aviation is that you fly to a location, get out the plane, and... then what? This flying car solves that problem. Can't wait until they're mass marketed, price comes down, etc. Hopefully this is a big idea that will catch on and force the evolution of general aviation.
Here comes the 900 pound hammer from the sky!
Here comes the Jetson.....
As someone stated earlier it's a start. Give it a chance it's still in development. Ever see a really old RV? They were pretty lame too.
Oh What???
When I fly my 172 to small airports that may be close to nice sightseeing areas that may be 20 miles or more away from an airport - with neither rental cars or even a restaurant, about all I can do is fly back home. So it's obvious that that is one of the reasons one would need this plane/car. Earlier attempts over the years at developing these failed from poor design but this one looks pretty well done. There may be crashes when it gets into the hands of the general public - but I'll bet it won't be the fault of the plane/car.
