“Flying car” reportedly makes maiden flight

19 March, 2009 (06:21) | Aviation, Human Interest, Technology | By: ricjames

Back in late 2007 I wrote about a flying car prototype, the Terrafugia Transition. The company is reporting that the “roadable aircraft” (as they refer to it) has made its maiden flight.

The Transition “roadable aircraft” has made a successful maiden flight, according to Terrafugia, the company that is developing it.

Media were not present at the airstrip in Plattsburgh, NY when the test took place, but the company has released photos and videos chronicling the event.

They’ve got some pretty cool pictures of the event but I’m really looking forward to some independent video. I also would love to know how she flies, from the pilot’s perspective.

More to come as I hear more.

I really liked the place where the flight ‘took off’ from, namely ‘Plattsburgh International Airport’!

Sounds like a real busy hub to me!
