The "Transition Car" From Terrafugia Company That Let's You Fly (pictures) by CEtoO(op): 9:29pm On Sep 02, 2015
The Transition®

The Transition® brings a new level of freedom, flexibility, and fun to personal aviation by combining driving and flying in one state-of-the-art vehicle.  Glass cockpit avionics, carbon fiber construction, and innovative mechanisms make the Transition® easy and fun to fly, drive, and convert.  A steering wheel and gas and brake pedals on the ground make it familiar to drive while a stick and rudder pedals provide responsive control in flight.

Being able to land and drive not only solves the "last mile problem" but inclement weather will no longer stop your trip. Running on premium unleaded automotive gasoline, the same engine powers the propeller in flight or the rear wheels on the ground.  Converting between flight and drive modes is comparable to putting down the top on your convertible and you can keep the Transition® at home in the garage: flying has never been so convenient!

Have the video but its too large to upload. You can watch from the link

Lol. The video on the site shows that it is 3D not real life footage. It is still in the design stage. They have not built it yet.

Nice innovation. I'd love fly in one of those.

CEtoO:
Thank you
This is not the video on their site. It's a totally different design. And this one requires a runway.

The "Transition" flying car on this thread uses propellers instead. Still in design phase like I said earlier. What you saw was just 3D animation.
