The future is now: Terrafugia Transition 'flying car' gets go-ahead from US air authorities:The Terrafugia Transition, the light aircraft that can modify into the road-legal automobile, is to go into prolongation after being since the special weight exemption by the US Federal Aviation Administration.
The two-seater Transition can use its front-wheel expostulate on roads at typical highway speeds, with wings folded, at the respectable 30 miles per gallon. Once it has arrived at the suitable taking flight mark - an airport, or adequately sized piece of flat in isolation land - it can fold down the wings, engage its rear-facing propellor, as well as take off. The folding wings have been electrically powered.
Its cruising speed in the air is 115mph, it has the operation of 460 miles, as well as it can lift 450lb. It requires the 1,700-foot (one-third of the mile) runway to take off as well as can fit in the customary garage.
