Travel anywhere you want with the flying car !

When I found this link on the internet, I nearly felt down of my chair. Great idea, splendid idea ! A flying car !

For those like me who are born in the early 80s or before and have been watching the MASK cartoon on TV, this post will for sure raise up some nostalgy... !

This idea comes from Carl Dietrich, an MIT Graduate student who won the $30,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for Inventiveness. He says that he is targeting more the amateur-pilot market than impatient commuters. This device will allow pilots to quickly fly from one point to another and then reach the final destination by road.

To my mind, this is the real beginning of massive private long range travels. Although the price is still high : $ 194,000 if you want to reserve right now your "transition" (that's the name given to this plane/car).

The POC (Proof Of Concept) will be shown this week in Oshkosh, WI :
