Flying Car Becoming A Reality Soon


World's first flying car has been cleared off by US aviation authorities and will soon be available commercially. The transformation from car to winged aircraft, as per report, will take 30 seconds.
The US authorities’ rules for the aircraft have been made flexible in this regard. The driver of this vehicle will not be required to acquire a pilot’s license.
The same seat in the vehicle will work as pilot’s cockpit and car’s driver. As Anna Dietrich, an employee of the vehicle manufacturer explained, when the vehicle lands at the airport the pilot/driver will be able to fold up the wings without getting out of the cockpit. The time will be almost same as it takes to put down the convertible top of a car. After the transition, the power of the engine will shift to the wheels.
I feel this is a great example of imagination becoming a reality, and demonstrates tremendous human brain power in exploring technology and innovation. Though this will create more airspace traffic, it may decrease the road traffic. Also may also help emergency situations like a vehicle carrying a serious patient getting stuck in heavy traffic on the road, thereby delaying the immediate attention of the hospital staff. A single vehicle working as an airplane and a car will dance to the tunes of the user.
