The FAA has just awarded the Terrafugia Transition an exemption which will allow the 1,440-pound car/aircraft hybrid to fly under a "light sport" designation, even though it hits the scales at a hefty 120 lbs. more than the rules allow. A light sport pilot license only requires 20 hours of seat time - far less than what a full license would demand.

At $194,000, it's cheaper than many propellor-driven craft.

interesting stuff!
not the world first flying car though, there is an old one i cant find, like 1940's, where you clipped the wings on. James may flew it i think.

You would never be able to drive that on a highway. Talk about blind spots...
