The Future of Flying Cars- Reserve Yours Today!

Every driver has imagined flying above the crowd when they are stuck in rush hour traffic, well by the end of next year this dream could be a reality. For only $10,000 as a deposit you can reserve your very own Terrafugia Transition, a flying vehicle that is also street legal. Terrafugia has been working on the design for this vehicle since 2006 and it is finally becoming a reality.

This flying car, or as the company refers to it, this “roadable aircraft” gets 30 mpgs on the highway, has front wheel drive, and can hold two people. The cargo space has room for skis, golf clubs or fishing poles. On the road this “aircraft” can reach normal highway speeds and is able to fit in a normal size garage and parking space; if the wings are folded up. When you are ready to drive just push the button in the cockpit and wings unfold. Then all you need is a third of a mile of straight road and you are ready to take off.

With a range of 400 miles and a cruising speed of 115 mph in the air the Transition is great for taking those long family vacations. According to Terrafugia, this aircraft is “perfect for trips between 100 and 400 miles.” All that is required to drive and pilot the Transition is a license to fly a Light Sports Aircraft as well as a valid driver’s license. The pilot’s license only requires 20 hours of flight time and only 5 of those must be solo. If you do choose to purchase this “aircraft” you can even get your license through Terrafugia.

The safety features of the Transition comply with all federal auto safety standards enforced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It includes crumple zones, airbags and other safety features that are required to make this aircraft street legal. Additional safety features comply with the Federal Aviation Administration regulations. For flying time the aircraft is equipped with modern glass avionics and a full vehicle parachute.

The Transition is set to make its debut at the end of 2011. Reserve yours today and be one of the first flying above rush hour traffic!
