Flying Car on the Highway, Anyone?

Why is it that people want a car that can fly? It's a no-brainer really. They just want to have the means to be above and beyond the traffic jams on the road. It's a nice thought. But a flying car isn't really something that can take off when it comes to laws and regulations. A car is a car and it has to abide by the rules of correct design and specifications. A plane isn't really a car and should also meet legal requirements. Combining a car and a plane as one vehicle can be tricky. But it's not impossible.

Believe it or not, there's already a plane out there that can roll on roads like a car. It's called the Terrafugia and it's now in the final stages of being given the go by the laws that apply both on the ground and in the air. The makers wish it to be classified as a light sports aircraft, much like an ultralight. This would require fliers to have only 20 hours of flying time to qualify as a pilot. The manufacturer says the Terrafugia can transform from a plane to a car (or vice versa) in less than 30 seconds. It may require some getting used to, but it's still practical. It uses ordinary gasoline, by the way. With that fuel, it can cruise to 185 kph and fly 644 km.

When the Terrafugia finally gets the nod of all concerned agencies and laws, you can get one for as little as $200,000. But if you imagine yourself rolling along the highway and then taking off when you see heavy traffic ahead, then think twice. It may not be that useful. However, if you wish to use it as a handy plane to get from one strip to another, then it may be the one for you.
