What was the name of the first flying car in the world?

The car developed by Terrafugia (Latin meaning "out of the earth") of traver in the United States is called "Transition".

Its wings can be folded, its wingspan is 27.5 feet (about 8.3 meters), its flying distance can reach 460 miles (about 740 kilometers), and its top speed is 1 15 miles (about 185 kilometers/hour). Driving on the road can be changed to car mode. ? A spokesperson for Terrafugia said: "You just need to put away the wings of your car and park in the garage like other cars. It can fly up to 460 miles. After landing, you can change modes and go directly to your destination. With this flying car, it is easier to go to the local airport. All you have to do is always be ready to change the operation mode, that is, flying or driving on the road. " ? In the whole process, the driver only needs to input a series of simple commands to change the white vehicle from an airplane to a car, and vice versa. Carl Dietrich, the founder of Terrafugia, said: "This breakthrough will change the way individuals travel-this has also been the goal of aviation enthusiasts since 19 18." ? Terrafugia claims that the Transition flying car can fly 400 miles in the air with full fuel. In addition, it is very simple to refuel the transitional flying car. Drive it to the nearest vacant lot and fill it with unleaded gasoline. Before this, flying cars were presented to the world, but the Transition was the first verified folding wing flying car, and the transition from air to land was seamless. ? However, there are still many obstacles to overcome before the transition is actually put into use. First of all, its cost is as high as139,000, and car lovers may notice that this is just a top-class Bentley. In addition, drivers need to provide driver's license and pilot's license if they want to experience the air flight experience. ? In fact, flying cars can also be regarded as light aircraft. Transition can fly in bad weather, low visibility and air restricted areas. If the climate and environmental conditions are worse, it can be transformed into a car driving on the road. So the transition has many advantages. Maertel, a test pilot of Terrafugia and a former air force colonel, made her "maiden voyage" in transition earlier this month. ? Mihintale said in an interview with the media: "The first test flight didn't give me a special feeling. I have been on various types of planes, from Piper Cub to F- 16, and the flight time has reached thousands of hours. Transition really looks like a good plane. " ? Transition is classified as a light aircraft, which is suitable to be classified as a "light sport" in the United States, so pilots can easily obtain pilot licenses. Terrafugia is still waiting for approval from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. However, the company said that they are full of "confidence" that the Transition will soon gallop on the road and soar in the air. ?
