Stuck in traffic?

The world's first flying car has been unveiled at the New York Auto Show. The Terrafugia Transition's folding wing design can legally be driven on the road and flown in the air. This has been the dream if many engineers for a long time.

However, the transition has its negative points. As it is neither a real car or a real plane, it does not perform as well as either, in the air or on the ground. Due to the design, the Transition also still requires a runway to take off. In addition, it costs £200,000, for which you could simply buy a car and a plane separately.

Even so, the manufacturers have received orders for over 100, and will begin shipping in around a year.

    It really looks ill-designed. I'd rather drive a real car (and for 200 grand you get almost any car you want). Why did they design it as a plane/car and not a helicopter/car? Would not require a runway to take off...

    They showed it on the news, on April first, so I wasn't sure if I should believe it or now. Well I guess it is the truth then!
