Terrafugia recently created a transforming automobile that with the flick of a switch grows some wings and is ready for flight. The company plans to bring the vehicle to consumer production by 2012. When not in use the wings fold up to the side of the car and it can be driven on the roads like any other normal drive. But if you come to a nice stretch of land or road taking off is as simple as pulling back on the throttle, getting up to
There is of course the Hover Bike which you can read about in my previous post HERE but if you are afraid of flying or just prefer water there are a few options designed with you in mind. The Swiss company Rinspeed have made a very Bond like car known as the Squba which when driven into water transformers into a submarine and as a bonus is zero emission due to running on all electric. Obviously there is a small issue with people requiring something known as air to breath or something but the company has thought of everything and included some breathing apparatus's in the glove compartment for your sensitive lungs. Once under the water, fins come out of the sides for steering and a propulsion system similar to what you find on a jetski take over jobs of the wheels and engine. The vehicle is open top so anything inside will get wet (make sure you bring a change of clothes) but once your done just drive back up on land and your good to go flying down the highways.
Today marks the end of my Driving Technology series and I hope you all enjoyed what I have written. My final question to you is do you think flying cars will become a reality and how soon? Leave your comments in the box below and as always, have a great day.
It really isn't surprising that flying cars are being made. In fact, I think cars will eventually come to this point. Just the thought of driving like the Jetsons is making me more excited about the future versions of "flying cars."
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for us.
ReplyDeleteThis Squba car, can we actually drive it the way we drive normal cars? Driving technology is becoming more dynamic as each year passes by, and the possibilities are also getting more exciting.
ReplyDeleteThe Squba car's first appearance was in 1977, in the movie "The Spy Who Loved Me”. I wonder if anyone here had seen that film. LOL! I think I'm getting old. After 30 long years, it finally appeared again at the Geneva Motor Show, around March 6 - 16th, 2008, if I'm not mistaken.
