Flying car to soar in UK skies in just 5 years time!

The flying car concept has been around for decades, but has never really seemed to get off the ground. But soon, it may become a reality.

Aviation experts have now said that a flying car could be in regular use in the UK within five years after the US authorities formally approved a model.

The 250,000 dollars (L155,000) Terrafugia Transition is a two-seater aircraft which has a top speed of 115mph, a range of 500 miles on a tank of fuel and requires just 20 hours training to fly.

At the touch of a button it takes just 15 seconds for the wings to fold up automatically and the power to be re-routed from the propeller to the rear wheels.

It can then be driven at up to 65mph and will comfortably fit in a standard size garage.

“It’s like a little Transformer,” the Daily Mail quoted Terrafugia founder Carl Dietrich, referring to the children’s toys that were turned into a blockbuster movie franchise, as saying.
