Flying cars have been featured in nearly every futuristic movie out there as being the normal mode of transportation by the year 200 or so. It's 2009 already! So where's my flying car!? Apparently, it's coming in 2011.
The
Terrafugia Transition, better known as "The Flying Car," is supposed to hit the roads in early 2011. Costing $200,000, the Terrafugia will enable you to transform your car from... well, just a car, to an airplane.
We've been dreaming of flying cars for so long, it's about time these mythological cars finally got here! When I think of flying cars, I immediately think "The Jetsons."
Then, of course, there's Back to the Future.
Although I doubt the Terrafugia will be able to transport people through time. But if it could, that would be
awesome.
Even Harry Potter is joining into the club, with the flying Ford Anglia.
While the Terrafugia might not look like any of these flying cars, it does look pretty slick and cool. You would probably need to have a flying licence before you take this one for a spin... but imagine how much traffic you would avoid!
Would you ever want to own a flying car? Do you think that the Terrafugia will... take off (so to speak) and become mainstream?

I can barely afford gas just to drive my car, I can't imagine having to pay for fuel in case I would need to fly it as well!
yeah if the cost is okay i want one.
The taxi that Corbin Dallas drove in the Fifth Element was my favorite flying car. As much as I would love to see flying cars as the norm I don't see it happening anytime within the next three decades. Dealing with DMV is hard enough adding wings means we'd probably have be certified as pilots or some other category. I'm sure RFK Jr would try and stop flying cars being accessible to the masses because we might have terrorist crashing their airborne vehicles into the Indian Point nuclear power plant. One possibility of the flying car actually doing well is if seasteading becomes a reality.
Nobody can afford flying car insurance.
I'll wait for it to evolve a little bit more.
Can't wait to see them in the sky.
