Flying Car to become a Reality soon

Flying Car to become a Reality soon WASHINGTON: The Flying Cars will soon become a reality! Efforts are on to develop a car with the wings, which is scheduled to be launched next year. The Flying Car is being developed by Terrafugia, a company based in Woburn, Mass.

According to experts, it won't be easy to drive the car with wings, as it would still require a runway for landing and take-off. The car is designed to fly below 10,000 feet. It can fly under bad weather conditions.

The base price of the Flying Car is set at $194,000 and may cost more when it will be ready. The car will also feature a radio, transponder and plane parachute. Terrafugia has already received 70 orders for the Flying Car.

The Flying Car has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds, including fuel and passengers. Gas mileage on the road is about 30 mpg. Hopefully, it will be imported to India too after its dream lunch. So, James Bond's 'Flying Car' will soon fly in the air.

Nah! such cars require runways and it is difficult to provide runways every where. If it had hovering capability it would have been a real success.

Meet George Jetson??? Hadnt it been predicted in the cartoon series already? What took them so long? *sigh* Men and their procastinating nature!!!

So I take it that out of the 70 odd orders placed none are from the Americans?

Flying car means Aircraft of small structure and nothing else. I dont think it will be a reality soon as a complete air control system is also required to control that traffic which may not be possible in another 50 years or so.

There's no way in hell. People are retarded enough as is driving on the streets. And it's not like there's going to be roads in the air that prevents cars from hitting buildings.

I think VTOL will have to be necessary for these cars to be successful.

I don't think so,
it is impossible to happens it soon.

the increasing technology can produce any mirical

ACtually something like the car shown was produced in the 1940's. It still needs a runway and has rubbish performance on the road. You also needed a pilots licence as well as a driver licence. Any "air" car system would probably require a automated system to drive/fly it.

with increasing techonolgy no doubt these cars will be available in future
