Sort out your flying car driving license before it’s too late – you want to be one of the first ones driving one of these beauties.
A team of MIT alumni have developed a new flying car prototype, the TF-X, which could hit the markets within the next 10 years.
TF-X is perfect for urban environments as it is capable of vertical takeoff and landing. It fits four passengers, can be parked inside a standard single-car garage and, Discover reports, can travel 800 kilometres on one trip at speeds of up to 320 km/h. Best part: it’s a hybrid.
The TF-X will cost as much as a luxury car, but not everything is lost, there is a more affordable option.
The Transition flying vehicle, which was developed by the same company, Terrafugia, is almost ready for sale and you could get one for just US$280,000. It runs on unleaded automotive gasoline and requires a 518 metres runaway to takeoff and land.
