Flygende bil - Må nok gjennom en byråkratisk mølle for å bli godkjent

Car That Flies Nears Liftoff as Pioneer Touts Soaring Over Roads
The first time Carl Dietrich brought his flying-car concept to the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual AirVenture gathering in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, he had only a video to show the aviation geeks who wandered by his modest stall. The following year, he brought the mock-up of a wing. Six years later, in July 2013, he was finally ready to fly the prototype.


As the announcer who introduced the Terrafugia Transition put it: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most incredible things we've seen, ever, here at Oshkosh. Twenty-five minutes ago, this was a street-legal automobile. Now, it's in the air." 


Pilot Phil Mateer buzzed the crowd while the announcer patched into his cockpit microphone to ask him how it felt up there. "I'm in a car looking down on traffic," Mateer replied. "And it flies real nice."
