The first flying cars are set to go on sale to the public as early as
2015. Terrafugia has announced its Transition design, which is part
sedan, part private jet with two seats, four wheels and wings that fold
up so it can be driven like a car, will be on sale in less than two
years.
The Massachusetts-based firm has also unveiled plans for a TF-X
model that will be small enough to fit in a garage, and won’t need a
runway to take off.
Last year, the Transition successfully flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes.
Commercial jets fly at 35,000 feet. However, it will not be cheap; the Transition will cost $300,000.
Terrafugia says owners must have pilot's licenses, and will need to
pass a test plus complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the car.
