LOOK, IN THE SKY

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman?

Nope, more like a car. 

On this very slow news day, an article on cnet.com reports about the Terrafugia Transition, the world's first flying car, spread its wings and flew to the skies for the first time. 

Resembling something like a mini jet plane, the Transition sports foldable wings and an engine that lets it go up to 115 mph in the air. 

Finally, a way to beat highway traffic. Car crash? No problem, with this car I can just unfold my wings, rev up the engine, and fly over everyone, laughing. 

It'd be pretty cool to just be able to go up into the air without the hassle of an airport and enjoy the view.

However, I doubt this land-air hybrid has very good fuel economy, also only able to seat two people. 

As a car, i doubt it would survive test crashes, and i doubt air traffic control would allow this vehicle to take the streets. People just flying into the air, potentially millions of blinking dots to monitor on their screens. 

Plus, no mention of seatbelts? This thing is going to need a serious redesigning if it wants to pass safety tests of any kind. 

A good idea, but keep trying Terrafugia (latin meaning "escape from land").
