Flying Car

I've been a bit of a meh on the flying car idea. As cool as it is, the logicstics of widespread use, especially with failsafes seems daunting.


Still a neat idea. And one that keeps getting worked on.

Like most flying cars the Terrafugia Transition is really a light aircraft that has folding wings and road wheels geared to the motor. It's a further refinement of the concept, and appears to be getting more road clearance and FAA regs worked out.

So we might one day get our flying cars... next up, jetpacks (which is a whole other stabilty and energy desnity problem)
