Terrafugia, the maker of the Transition flying car, said yesterday that a
production prototype, the D2, made its first flight earlier in March, a step toward what it hopes will be commercial availability within the next year.
Back in the early 1990s, we were sure that by 2012 we'd be flying everywhere. Flying to work, flying to the corner store, flying over to our friend's house to watch a movie. Well, we might not have the technology to do that just yet, but we can still dream. I'm sure one day my kids will be asking "Hey dad, can i borrow the flying car?"
Here are a few of the flying car concepts that might one day be parked in my (my kids'? my grandkids'?) driveway.
