It is rumored that former TWU Local 100 officers have placed an order for these automobiles/airplanes (flying car). It is said they want to be the first to own these new modes of transportation - can you guess who they are.
Two different companies, one in the United States and another in Europe (Netherlands) have announced that they just completed first flights. First, Terrafugia, the American company, said that its prototype "Transition Street-Legal Airplane" completed its maiden flight on March 23 from Plattsburgh, New York with a price tag of $279,000.
The Transition's Dutch competitor, the Personal Air and Land Vehicle (PAL-V), is very different the company said it flies like a helicopter and on the road "it drives like a sports car." Deliveries are expected in 2014.
