Learning about the Terrafugia flying car

Flying cars are something that only exists in movies and dream worlds right? Wrong, the Terrafugia flying car is out there and you can actually learn how to drive it and fly it! The Terrafugia flying car is only able to carry about 330lbs of total weight so it's only large enough for the pilot and one passenger along with some light luggage.

It does have a parachute feature so you will be safe if the wings fell off the plane or you had some other type of major accident happen with the plane. The Terrafugia flying car has undergone a few changes here and there to make it stand out a little better. Since it was first introduced in March of 2009, new safety features have been added to the plane and they are designed to make the plane a lot safer for everyone.

When can you head out for a test drive with the Terrafugia flying car? It will be ready for the public in late 2011/early 2012. This is mostly to ensure that the car is safe for the roads and safe for the air. The costs of the flying car will vary as the design is being tested. Right now the initial estimates are coming in at about $195,000 for the Terrafugia flying car.

The great thing about using this flying car is that you don't have to go through all the extra work to become a real pilot. Instead you are using a light sport aircraft so you will be able to acquire a pilot's license after you are in the air for about 20 hours. This does mean you need to make sure you only stick to the Terrafugia flying car as other planes require official flight school and additional testing hours to receive your pilot's license.

If you don't have the money to buy the Terrafugia flying car right away you can always sign up for a purchase agreement with the company. You will need to make an initial deposit of $10,000 in order to secure the flying car and then you can pay for the rest of it over time. Your initial deposit will be fully refundable if you don't acquire the money to pay for the rest of the flying car or if you really just don't think it's the best decision you have made with your money.

You can actually book an appointment online to check out the flying car and you can also purchase it online. Head to the terrafugia website and you can reserve your flying car online. You will need to agree to the deposit terms and then you can pay for the initial deposit using your credit or debit card. When the transaction processes, you will get a packet from terrafugia and it will include your production order along with a certificate showing that you made the initial deposit. As your flying car is being built, you will receive periodic updates from terrafugia until the time comes when your car is ready and you need to agree to the purchase and sale agreement so you can get certified and start flying.

The flying car is great to use for a lot of reasons, one of which is just to go out and fly around and have a relaxing day. You need to attend the right flight school so you can properly operate the flying car. You will face a number of different weather conditions with the flying car so it is important to make sure you know how to operate the plane in rain and wind as it's not always going to be perfect flying.
