Flying Car, Already Cleared For Skies, Now Cleared For Roads Too
8th July 2011
Ah, the cry of we-want-the-future-now folks has been “where’s my flying car?” Well, a very simple version of one may finally be coming to market. A year ago, we noted that the Terrafugia Transition “roadable aircraft” had been approved by the FAA for flight as a light sports aircraft (meaning you don’t even need a full pilots license). But it apparently took another year for the Transition to get the necessary “exemptions” from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to let the thing go on the road.
Note that the key roadblocks to ‘the future’ are caused by the government … for our own good, of course.
