This thing is awsome.


The Transition®
Every pilot faces uncertain weather, rising costs, and ground transportation hassles on each end of the flight. The Transition® combines the unique convenience of being able to fold its wings with the ability to drive on any surface road in a modern personal airplane platform. Stowing the wings for road use and deploying them for flight at the airport is activated from inside the cockpit. This unique functionality addresses head-on the issues faced by today’s Private and Sport Pilots.

Terrafugia’s award-winning MIT-trained engineers have been advancing the state-of-the-art in personal aircraft since 2006. Now you can streamline your flying experience with the revolutionary integration of personal land and air travel made possible by the Transition® Roadable Aircraft.

"have been advancing the state-of-the-art in personal aircraft since 2006"
*rofl

Average time to develop generic mass-produced grocery-getting vehicle ~ 6yrs

Time to develop "state-of-the-art" flying car ~ 3 yrs

I hope people have a lot of faith in "MIT-trained" engineers...

How many flying car demo vehicles will be produced before people realize that it's not reasonable/logical to give the average Joe with a Blackberry and sub-100 IQ a WMD?
