Flying Car Is Now

Flying Car Is Now Terrafugia TF-X
Terrafugia TF-X

Remember how you thought the future would be about flying cars? Well, the future is here or almost here anyway.

Terrafugia, a company founded by a group of M.I.T. graduates in 2006, has made a flying car and is circulating a video of it (see below). The vehicle, called the Terrafugia TF-X, is expected to hit  the market about 2021.

Orders are being taken for a transitional craft — appropriately called the Terrafugia Transition — now. The cost is $279,000.

The Transition is described by the company as a “street-legal airplane”. They are calling the TF-X a “flying car”.

Terrafugia is the only car company registered in Massachusetts.
