Flying Cars!!! Can We Afford Gas First!!

Ok! Attention all girls and guys we are entering the future as we speak! Flying cars are in the making and will be landing on grounds near us as soon as 2012! Created by a graduate of MIT, Carl Dietrich and the Terifugia Company they named the new age planes "the light-sport aircraft", these evolved aviation creations are about to hit the markets as the new "quick, short trips travel plane".

How does it work? Since 2006, according to the Washington Post, "They came up to make a standard light aircraft with wings that fold up, and tuck in close to the body of the plane for driving or extending to full wingspan for flying in just 20 seconds".

In a nation that can barely afford gas, what would make any of the investors and creators think that anyone would need a "skycar" as some may call it. As usual when the government wants to play with a new toy they will say anything to get your ears to light up. This time the pilots are agreeing, due to previous flying surveys it is shown that "pilots do not fly more often for four reason: weather, in high ownership cost, limited mobility on the ground and long door to door travel times."

Problems? Well, the first problem is economic adjustment to the "skycar" itself, transitioning from the ground into the sky periodically, and landing instead of parking. It also needs regulatory clearance from many agencies including the FAA and the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

We are to attend driving school for 40 hours within a two week period to be properly approved to maneuver a vehicle, wouldn't you think more time would be required to fly a plane. Well it is not! It actually takes 20 hours less to become a certified pilot for skycars. Does this seem safe to you?

If all approves are made the production of skycars will proceed as planned toward the end of this year or early next year. Share your thought about the "SKYCARS?" Do you think it will benefit the earth? Share and post your comments.
