'Flying Car' on Sheikh Zayed Road

Many a dribver would have wished to have a 'flying car' when stuck in traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road. Now that wish may become a reality if Terrafugia has its way.
Terrafugia is developing a 'flying car' named Transition® and says that it is 'actively testing the functioning model' of the car.

The Transition® was unveiled in action to 300 employees, customers, investors, US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) and other government personnel at Lawrence Municipal Airport, in Massachusetts, US, on October 27, 2012.
Chief Test Pilot Phil Meteer put the vehicle through its paces, demonstrating the Transition® driving, converting and flying -- and then converting and driving again.

"We are actively flight testing and drive testing to evaluate the durability of the Transition® airframe in real-world environments," says a company statement.

"Any issues that are discovered in this phase of testing are either noted as items for evaluation and potential redesign on the next vehicle or are modified in place on the current prototype.
