Massachusetts Ok's Sky CarA company named Terrafugia in Woburn, Massachusetts built a flying car model which the state has now made street legal. The car may now operate on roads, and the process to make it air-legal is under way. The vehicle can extend it's wings and lock them in place within 30 seconds, so the transition from road to sky is just as quick. So it makes sense that the creator of the car, Carl Dietrich, appropriately named it The Transition.
The car is expected to be on the market for sale by the end of 2011. A light-sport pilot's license would be needed to fly it, which allows people to fly any plane weighing less than 1,350 pounds. It runs on unleaded fuel and is intended to use local airports to take off and land when flying.
