In 1949, Moulton B. Taylor created the first Aerocar. His company was The AeroCar Company of Longview, Washington. The AeroCar has been updated for the 21st Century, it is called the AeroCar 2000 and is now built around the new Lotus Elise. It is a lightweight 1510 lb. two-seat roadster. The flight module is powered by a separate twin-turbocharged 2.5 liter V8 engine also produced by Lotus. It produces 350 hp, yet weighs only 491 lbs. complete.

You can't buy a flying car yet.
But you can put a deposit down for one.
Terrafugia Inc.
With its wings up, it's a car on wheels. When the wings come down, it's a plane in the air, promises Terrafugia.
Terrafugia Inc., a company founded by graduates of MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, has started taking $7,400 deposits on its $148,000 Transition flying car.
The company recently showed off a small model of the "roadable aircraft" at a conference and expects the first production models to ship in late 2009.
Terrafugia says on its Web site that the Transition will have a 20-gallon gas tank – it runs on super unleaded gas pumped from any gas station – and will get about 30 miles per gallon while in flight.
The car-size craft is intended for short aero-jaunts of a few hundred miles rather than trans-Atlantic crossings

Right now. All you need is one hundred thousand dollars. There are prototypes for cars that can slightly hover above water, thus a flying car.

It is readily available. But because it can fly, it goes under another name... an airplane.
