Terrafugia Transition

Here it is ! Possibly the first viable car/aircraft. Granted there have been other before it. But it looks like this one may have a shot.

It's an aircraft... wait its a car?

Its both actually. Although the company is not marketing it as a flying car (more of a "roadable aircraft") It gives pilots the opportunity to fly to an airport and then drive to your destination! Pretty nice if you hit weather along the way, just land and continue on your merry way!
Currently all that is needed to operate this "roadable aircraft" is a sports pilot certificate.

Right now the Terrafugia Transition is a little out of my price range. At an estimated purchase price of $194,000 I would think twice about getting one. I would question driving it on the road as well because one little fender bender and your roadable aircraft is only roadable.
