World’s First Flying Car Approved for Road Use
Terrafugia Transition: Flying Car Approved For Road Use By NHTSA
(HuffPost) Well, this is certainly one way to avoid rush hour traffic.
Terrafugia‘s flying car, the Transition, has been officially approved for driving on roads and highways. The driver-slash-pilot can now fly between local airports and drive on any road.
On June 30, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) granted special exemptions for the “roadable aircraft.” According to Terrafugia’s press release, the Transition is the “first combined flying-driving vehicle to receive such special consideration from the Department of Transportation since the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards came into being in the 1970s.”
WATCH:
The Transition is fueled by super unleaded gas, which is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than standard aviation fuel.
