Terrafugia. The Flying Car...

This car does actually fly!
Six years after Terrafugia announced it would develop a 'roadable' airplane, their little aircraft has just completed it's first phase of flight testing in the skies above Northern New York State.
It featured here a couple of years ago in its developmental stage.
The designers report that the plane performed exceptionally well.
As a light aircraft, it's also designed to meet national highway traffic safety standards, simply by folding its wings...
It's evidently that easy.
You can find out more about it here.
What will they think of next?
Probably pigs that fly...
