recsec Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I work at Naval Air Station Pensacola, I wonder if they would let me land on the airstrip and drive off the field to the parking lot? (Security is designed tokeep you out) and then park in the lot and then take back off? hmm:-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoConMan Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yeah, seriously, I did drive my plane home when I lived in Texas. The property I had was on a 3000' grass strip, a fly-in subdivision so to speak. Never built a house on it but I had a hangar with two planes paying rent inside. Sold it when I moved to AZ. Still it would be cool to see that car/plane thing make it in the market. Many have tried in the last 50 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yeah me too. Here is some information from their FAQ website: A lot of previous "flying car" attempts have failed. Why is this any different? The Transition® has the advantage of modern engines, composite materials, and computer-based avionics. Even more important is the approach being taken by Terrafugia to design a vehicle for pilots that brings additional ground capability to an airplane instead of attempting to make a car fly.
