Meanwhile, Terrafugia vehicles from the U.S., called Transition , has wings that can be folded and if the runway is long enough then it can turn into airplanes . This mode will be commercially available within the next two years .
" The benefits to humanity flying car is very big , " says Terrafugia CEO Carl Dietrich .
Global impact of air transportation of personal , practical and widely marketed has been estimated by the CAFE Foundation's non-profit organizations unlock the potential of the market to the range of USD 800 billion per year . NASA itself has been estimate at USD 1 trillion per year .
Transition , which takes longer to develop than the TF - X is more conceptual , is expected to cost about USD 300,000 . Currently the company says there are 100 orders earlier this year . The car uses the same engine for the street or the air , and can use gasoline fuel than aircraft that are much more expensive .
