 April 3, 2012 - 9:39am | Flying cars aren't just science fiction anymore. Woburn, Mass.-based Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its prototype flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle — dubbed the Transition — has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. Last month, it flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes. Commercial jets fly at 35,000 feet.

 April 8, 2012 - 9:54am | They did turn over a few of them for motor vehicle crash testing so data should be out soon. Oh found out there are just over 5000 airports in the US they can land and take off at, just be sure to check the fuel tank after you drive it to the airport. Tax wise I am wondering how they are going to compute the business mileage for this thing. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |

Pretty sure aircraft fall under the "luxury tax" laws ;) |
