I never want cars to fly. A person would still need to be trained and get a pilot's license to fly it. It's not like anyone can buy it and start flying it without a pilot's license. As a professional pilot, I believe this type of aircraft will be a novelty for someone with a lot of money who wants to show it off.
@stacyw40 I sure as hell can. Most people are too stupid to turn on their blinkers, or even change a flat tire. And you're expecting them to be able to fly an airplane???? lol. And before you say "well computers will do most of the flying" i trust the average human FAR more than i trust any computer, And in my opinion most people are morons.
I just think it's funny how everyone is talking like these things will be available to the common man, for instance "gangs flying around and shooting each other" Ya I really see that happening.
@itv300 I don't think anyone that can afford this car would be that stupid.. It's not like they're gonna mass-produce it for Ford to sell to kids in college.
@slimboni123 no... but tons of people fly a private plane... and this costs something in the neighborhood of 1/2 or there abouts of one of the most common general aviation aircraft..the cessna 172. If you buy one brand new, your looking at 5 or 6 hundred thousand....so 194 is a good price. It is just a plane you can drive home. Not your kids to soccer practice in.
Why are people worried about terrorism? First, it's a carbon-fibre vehicle; in other words, it's VERY light for its size. I really doubt it has the capability of bringing down a building like a commercial airliner does; terrorists would probably manage to kill more civilians by getting their hands on a few shotguns and going on a crazy killing spree. This plane really isn't a threat.
@nategrier2003 well, if you think about it, there is no one in the sky right? so its much easier navigate in air and plus you have all the space you need unlike a crowed street. The only hard part is landing and thats all.
Boy, some people just don't get it. It's an AIRPLANE. It's NOT a car! It's an airplane that you can drive home and park in your garage. It's no more dangerous than any other small airplane. It's no more useful to terrorists than any other small airplane. It not for poor schmucks who can't afford an airplane. Of course you'd need flying lessons; it's an AIRPLANE!
@dandersononutube its not an airplane u asshole, it folds up into a car and into a plane, so its a flying car, stop ruining the fun and give them credit for trying dumbshit, we've waited too long for this
@ibenez54 Tell that to the people who designed it. Do you know how they describe it? They call it a "roadable aircraft". If you read their site, you will find that they stress the point that it is NOT a car. It is an airplane that can be driven on a road. I'm not criticizing the craft or its designers. I'm telling you what the designers said about their own design. I'm pointing this out because many people commenting have unrealistic expectation for this craft because they think it's a car.
@ibenez54 Let me explain, in case it's not clear. The reason I posted my original comment was because people were criticizing the Terrafugia for not being a very practical car. My point was, it's not suppose to be a practical car; it's suppose to be a practical airplane. I'm a big fan of the Terrafugia and have been for a long time. I just don't like people criticizing it due to their misunderstanding of what it is all about.
Hmmm this could open a window of ease for terrorism and it would cause problems in areas with strict air zone laws. Plus take into the fact that not everyone can fly a plane so would need pilots lessons and if there is an accident its not just a few cars in danger, it houses, schools, hospitols etc etc.
its considered an LSA. the only difference being that once you land, you can fold down the wings and continue driving and park it in your own garage, instead of tying it down at an airport. Of course you would need a pilots license.
lol haha do you really want asians driving around in a fuckin airplane?!!!
