Terrafugia Achieves Maiden Flight—Live Blogging from the Boston Museum of Science | Xconomy

 

"Terrafugia is spinning the vehicle as a convenient option for pilots who want to be able to fly to any airport—say, Martha’s Vineyard—and then be able to drive to their final destination without having to rent a car separately."

I always thought Hire Car rates in the US were fairly low, but if it makes sense to spend $200k on a cartoon plane with the fuselage and top speed of a car, then who am I to deter anyone? Don't fancy parallel parking it much though!

 

Saw the thread title and this popped into my head...

 

I think I will hold off until Jet packs are more affordable, But it is cool....kinda...

 

Yes, that's right they just bought up all the rusty old Fuegos they could find, glued on some balsa-wood wings and rivetted a lawn mower engine attached to a propellor on the back. How else can you explain the dearth of Renault's finest on our roads today? Not sure I would want to fly too high in it!
