You probably don’t remember a short post I made about the Terrafugia Fusion. Heck, I barely remember it, and I wrote it. Well, as the headline says, the FAA has approved the vehicle for consumer use. Sure, you need a pilot’s license and 20 hours of flight experience before you can operate it, but if you can afford the two hundred thousand dollars to buy this thing, you can certainly afford the flying lessons.
The world is one step closer to seeing flying cars. Personally, I test pilot my car all the time. It’s amazing how a little bit of “flooring it” can turn “speed bumps” into “ramps”. Vrrroooom! It’s just like the dukes of hazard- I go through three cars a week and I’m constantly running from the police. Yeeeee-Hawwwwww!*
I consider the flying car an inevitable part of technological advancement, but I never stopped to think that there would be flying dune buggies. This invention is so many shades of awesome that I can hardly see straight. I couldn’t be bothered to read what the writers at Gizmag had to say about it, but it looks like it uses the same principals as the powered parachute. If only this thing was amphibious, then it would be the ultimate go anywhere, do anything machine!
I'm crazy about technology... literally! Here at Pixel-Shack, you'll read about hot tech trends, zany gadgets, sweet rides and the occasional video game related tidbit.
