The world's first flying car - the Terrafugia Transition took to the skies this week for its maiden voyage, following six months of road tests and years of design. The goal is to create an airplane that can be driven to and from a runway and parked in the family garage at night.
The Transition runs on regular unleaded gasoline and can travel up to 500 miles on a single tank of gas. It takes less than 30 seconds for the vehicle's wings to fold up or extend to transform from plane to car or vice-versa.
Information from the test flight will be used to tweak the Transition's design for a second prototype. The company plans to begin selling the vehicles, which cost $194,000, in 2010, said Richard Gersh, Terrafugia's vice president of business development.
The company has taken deposits for 40 vehicles already, Deitrich said.
That's right, a flying car could soon be in circulation meaning we can add a new addition to road rage: sky fury.
