Well this is the “world’s first flying car,” and it is legal to fly in the sky after being granted permission by the FAA, which you can read about in more detail in a previous post by Daniel.

The two creators of the vehicle has been nicknamed the “roadable aircraft” by its creators as it can drive on different surfaces and then unfold its wings and take to the sky. Those of you who would like to see this little car / aircraft in action then you had best head over to Terrafugia website where they have a host of videos and photos.

The first video is of the aircraft driving around and then speeding along a runway and taking flight, the Terrafugia Transition did not get high, but it was more about it actually getting off the ground. Some of the other videos show the car come aircraft much higher in the sky – it is certainly a strange sight.

The range of photos ready for you to start viewing shows how easily you can fit the Terrafugia Transition into a garage, driving down the road or taking its first flight. For videos click here and for photos visit here.

The Register reports about an FAA decision, which lets Terrafugia Transition get a weight exemption for airbags, and more.

This flying car is revolutionary, and while the airbags are no good in the air, they are important for road safety. The flying car is 110 pounds heavier than normal small planes, although Terrafugia were very happy to get the light sports aircraft classification.

Below this post you can see a 3-minute video, which shows the Transition in action with its 115 mph cruising speed, and folding wings. This may not be anything like the flying cars we could see in the future, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Could you imagine going to a car showroom and buying a flying car? Then choosing to drive or fly from the showroom, a gadget lovers dream. Watch the video below, or read more on The Register.

This is not a pipe dream; it’s reported that Terrafugia hope to commence deliveries in Q4 2011 with a price of $194,000.
