Terrafugia CEO Responds To "Flying Car" Criticism

Posted by kdawson on from the fly-drive-package dept.

waderoush writes "The majority of the comments on last week's Slashdot post It's Not a Flying Car — It's A Drivable Airplane were critical, even dismissive, of Terrafugia's work to build a two-passenger airplane with folding wings that's also certified for highway driving. We boiled down these criticisms to the dozen most commonly expressed points, and today we've published responses from Terrafugia CEO Carl Dietrich. While hybrid airplane-automobiles are an old (some would say laughable) idea, Dietrich argues that current materials and avionics technologies finally make the concept feasible."

    Judging from the comments last week, many commenters hadn't fully absorbed the factual points in the article (to put it politely).

    I, for one, am shocked that /.ers didn't fully read the article before posting.

    Shocked.
