Flying car.
Fed up with traffic jam? Here's some good news--'the flying car' is on its way.An American company Terrafugia Transition, based near Boston, is soon to start manufacturing "the flying cars" , called the Transition Roadable Light Sport Aircraft, which can be transformed from a car to a plane in just 30 seconds.The transition can fly at 185kmph and reach 105kmph on th road; on the ground with its wings tucked up and in , it can fill up with petrol at a normal filling station and it fits in an average size garage, the Sunday Express reported.
"The flying car" is set to go into production this year and is expected to cost between 125000 Pounds to 160000 Pounds( Rupees 91,95,935.4 Lakhs to Rupees1,17,70,797.4 Crore) say its developers.
Richard Gersh, of Terrafugia, the US company which makes the vehicle and hopes to sell 200 a year, said:"This is an airplane first and foremost.The idea is you can drive it to and from a regulation airport . Fully fuelled , you can fly it for a range of 400 to 500 miles. We have 100 orders so far. There are still some minor changes that need to be made because it has to meet both road and aviation standards. However, we expect to be delivering at the end of the year."
According to the CEO of the company, they have successfully test-flown 'the flying car' as many as 28 times."It has been very successful. We have got a very good handling vehicle and our test pilot said that the flights were just remarkable - it just flies like a really nice little airplane" CEO Carl Dietrich told Canadian TV. He also ease problems for pilots who currently face problems like weather.
My views on this car.
I liked this car but if we think deeply we will realise that although being a gift of science it might also prove to be harmful for us.We can have a lot of uses, like we need not to book an airplane,a train or any other mode of transport we can just fly from one corner of the country to other corner. Today the world is full of terrorist attacks and people like Osama Bin Laden have threatened the whole world so, they can easily access these cars and may attack many places in minutes.But on the same hand The countries Army can use this car to patrol the borders .So we must make the use of these car very wisely.
