Kinda of cool, wonder what kind of traffic rules will need to be made if this becomes mainstream. What if it gets hit by birds?

'Flying Car' Goes to Market

Jan. 22, 2009 -- A Boston-area company plans to begin flight tests this year of a two-seater airplane that moonlights as a car.

The aptly named Transition takes a stab at bridging the gap between automobiles and airplanes. Some people call it a flying car. The company designing and selling the vehicle prefers the term "roadable aircraft."

Either way, it boils down to this: You sit down behind the steering wheel, drive to the runway, unfold two wings and take off. You can fly 500 miles on a tank of gas -- regular unleaded -- and when you land, you simply fold up the wings and drive where you want to go. At the end of the day, you fly back, drive home and park inside your garage.

Terrafugia, of Woburn, Mass., is not the first firm to attempt what may be the ultimate hybrid.

Traffic rules?

When its on the street it will have to follow the rules of everyone else on the street. When it goes to an airport to take off, it will have to follow the rules of every other licensed pilot.

Taking off in an aircraft from a street or hiway, is not allowed in any state other than Alaska. Laws and rules will not change just because someone built an airplane that can be driven home from the airport.

looks Ok , but you have a rather limited market for it. How many people have both pilot and drivers licenses and how many out of those people would want one ?

As far as i can see the rotor is on the back of the car/airplane so a birdstrike would not damage it enough to take it down.
