It is the ultimate off-roader and it is coming to an airstrip near you. The flying car has been talked about for almost as long as cars have existed, and now a prototype built by a small American company is finally ready to make the idea a reality.
The Terrafugia Transition is a two-seater plane that at the touch of a button converts into a road-legal car. It takes its maiden flight next month and is scheduled to hit the showrooms by next year.

Why isn't there more discussion of this on aviation forums? Sounds huge to me!

I wished I knew it was on display at the Museum of Science... I could have gone after work to see it... I'll have to see if it's still there tomorrow...
