If you had a time machine and you went back 50 years and asked the average person what one invention they would love to try out above all others, it would easily be the flying car. From comic books to Back to the Future, we have all dreamed of taking to the wild blue yonder in a flying automobile, and now a new company has tested the first prototype at an airfield in Pennsylvania. The Terrafugia Transition is the name of this new flying car that has been approved by the Federal Aviation Agency, but even with successful testing, don’t expect to see one available at your local dealership anytime soon.

This road worthy car has wings that fold up on either side for an easy transition (hence the name). While the makers of this model see an obvious application for pilots who need to get from airport to airport, there can be no denying that just about everyone is going to want one of these once they are commercially available. The initial announcement that this product was in the works occurred 18 months ago, and the design team has been hard at work, with all eyes looking towards March 5th when the initial flight took place. While we may all dream of going from the road to the air in a matter of seconds, this particular flight was piloted by a retired Air Force general who is helping to spearhead this project.

According to Terrafugia, the next phase of tests involve flying the car away from the airport and checking on the endurance capabilities. Commercial sale is still a long ways away from happening, but the buzz created by this announcement was palatable. This is a product that people want and one that most folks would pay a pretty penny for.
