 Have
you ever imagined that you might ride in a flying car someday? You might wish this
when you are stuck in a traffic jam. Guess what! It is no longer just a dream. Recently,
a company called Terrafugia announced its vision for the future of
personal transportation. According
to experts, a flying car will be available to the public within 10
years! So what kind of car is it?
The vertical take-off and landing
(VTOL) flying car is called “TF-X.” The maximum seating capacity of the car
is four. It can do a maximum speed of around 322km per hour. TF-X,
also known as an eco-friendly hybrid car,
is equipped with both an electric motor and a gasoline
engine.
 How can the
car fly in the sky? The secret are wings that are hidden in its body.
The wings come out when the car takes off. The car can fly for up
to 800km on a single charge. It is said that anyone
will be able to drive it, because the car has artificial intelligence technology.
It is simpler and safer than a light plane, and you do not need a
pilot’s license to fly it. It also
has a detailed and automatic navigation system.
“Terrafugia is about increasing the level of safety, simplicity, and
convenience of aviation.
TF-X is an opportunity to provide the world with a new dimension of personal freedom,”
said Terrafugia CEO Carl Dietrich. |
