小心！汽车飞起来了

在拥挤的车流中，你是否梦想能够飞起来？梦想马上就能实现了。

你会如何想借此工作？2011年就能成为现实。

3月5日Terrafugia公司进行了首航，并称之为“一个历史性的里程碑航行”，这架两座飞机需要在当地机场起飞，但可在任何道路上行驶。

飞行汽车的制造商是位于马萨诸塞州的沃伯恩，Terrafugia已经搞定在该州的道路上行驶权，但在空中飞行的许可工作正在顺利进行。

飞机汽车，被称为过渡产品，是Terrafugia的创办人是Carl迪特里希的创意，星期四他特地开了一辆飞行汽车上早间广场电视节目亮相，天气预报节目主播碰巧有飞行执照。

飞行汽车从行驶状态转成飞行状态需要30秒来打开并锁定翅膀。起飞助跑距离需要1700英尺，如果一切按计划进行，2011年底即可上市供货。

驾驶飞机，需要最低限度的轻型运动飞机驾照，这种驾照许可驾驶飞机重量不超过1350英镑。
Terrafugia说，大约40人交付了10000美元的押金对，锁定价格19.4万美元价款。
 
飞行汽车使用普通无铅汽油，有一个方向盘-和飞行伸缩棒，有舵兜售两边的气体和刹车，有舵兜售两边的气体和刹车。

Look Out, Jetsons: Flying Car Is Here

'Historic Milestone for Aviation'Terrafugia
CBS News
 How many times have you been stuck in traffic and dreamed of being able to just have your car take off and fly over it?
Well, the future is almost now.

How would you like to take this to work? It could be a reality for some as early as 2011. Above, the Terrafugia Transition takes off on its maiden voyage on March 5, in what company officials called "a historic milestone for aviation." The two-seat aircraft is designed to take off and land at local airports and drive on any road.

A flying car made by Woburn, Mass.-based Terrafugia has already been cleared for use on roads by the company's home state, and the process of getting it OK'd for use in the air is well under way, Terrafugia says.
The car/plane, dubbed the Transition, is the brainchild of Terrafugia founder Carl Dietrich, who brought one to The Early Show plaza Thursday to show weather anchor and features reporter Dave Price, who happens to have a pilot's license.
The Transition can go from drive to fly in 30 seconds -- that's how long it takes for its wings to extend and lock into place, as Dietrich demonstrated for Price.
If all goes as planned, the Transition will be on the market by the end of 2011.

More StoriesTo fly it, someone would need a minimum of a light sport plane pilot's license, which basically allows you to fly a plane weighing less than 1,350 pounds.
Terrafugia says about 40 people have plunked down a $10,000 refundable deposit toward the $194,000 purchase price.
The Transition needs 1,700 feet to take off, the company says.
It runs on regular unleaded gas, has a steering wheel -- and pilot's telescopic stick, with rudder peddles on either side of the gas and brakes.
