Flying cars or Roadable aircraft

Although the term "flying car" makes for an easily graspable mental image, Terrafugia prefers to call it a roadable aircraft because the Transition will spend most of the time in the air. Owners will, ideally, drive the two-passenger vehicle from their garage to an airport. At that point, the retractable wings will be unfolded and it will turn into a plane.

Самолет-автомобиль на двоих. На нем можно будет по обычной дороге приехать в аэропорт, расправить крылья и полететь в соседнюю деревню за водкой :) ( 200 - 700 км)
