Digital Trends reports that the Terrafugia Transition flying car is ready to go into production.
Unveiled almost a decade ago but, Terrafugia claims to sales of the car will begin in 2019.
The company also promises improvements to the design in return for the wait.
These include a parachute system and three rearview cameras in road-going mode.
The car's engine has an airborne range of 400 miles and a top speed of 100 mph.
Terrafugia also promises a “boost” option for the throttle that provides a quick burst of extra power.
Terrafugia calls the Transition as a street-legal airplane.
It’s designed to take advantage of the network of small airports scattered across the U.S.
Users can fly into these small airports and drive to their final destinations.
But you'll need a pilot’s license to fly one.

Brilliant. Next time I'm in Shanghai, I'll buy one of these. (Hey, the guy did say it's good if you want to get from one side of Shanghai to the other.)
