How You'll Soon be Getting to School or Work

As you know, technology is much more than just computers.  It affects and changes every part of our lives. One area set to see major changes is transportation.  Let's look at some of the soon to be options for personal travel.

Terrafugia Flying Car



Way cool. It's a car and a plane. Runs on regular gasoline, parks in the garage, and easy to handle. Only downside is you need to get a pilot's license to use it in the air.  Not too hard to do, though.  Many, many people have a private pilot's license.  Check the video:


 

Hoverbike

Already being used, the Hoverbike is more flying motorcylcle than car.  Sit on top, and it takes off like a helicopter; straight up. Twist the handlebar like a motorcycle and it goes forward, up to 75 miles per hour.

 




Moeller Flying Car

Another futuristic car being sold now. While you may not be driving to school in one of these ( unless you've got an extra $150,000 laying around), these car/planes are being sold and used.   Never mind a new computer for every student, how about a flying car for everyone instead?




Ferrari V4 Motorcycle

It doesn't fly...in the air...but it flies! If you're ready to go 230 mph, this Ferrari's for you. And, it's cheaper than the flying car...this cycle is a rock bottom cheap $85,000.




Flying Cube

Stand inside, say the magic words, and up, up, and away you go. Mostly for shorter trips, 100 miles or less, the Cube isn't jet powered, but doesn't have to deal with traffic lights or slow vehicles.. until you land.  Perfect for Saipan and trips to Tinian, Rota, and Guam.
