Is it a plane? Is it a car? No, it’s a super flying car-plane!

If you’ve ever had the burden of trying to decide between driving or flying to work, soon you’ll be able to do both. Terrafugia, a company based in Woburn, Mass., is building a car that can also fly. The company has recently won approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to move ahead with the project, even thought the car, called The Transition, is 110 pounds heavier than other planes in its class. The additional weight is needed so that the car can contain safety features required by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Anna Dietrich, co-founder and chief operating officer of Terrafugia, said the F.A.A. gave the company an exemption from the agency’s rules to build the car. Many lightweight aircraft have to remain below 1,320 pounds to be approved for flight by the F.A.A. Read more here.
