A flying car is to go into commercial production after manufacturers were given a special exemption by US aviation officials.
The Terrafugia Transition is designed as a ‘light sport’ aircraft, the smallest kind of private aeroplane under FAA classification.
But manufacturers found it impossible to keep under the 1,320lb weight limit, once they had added safety features - such as airbags, crumple zones and roll cage - required for road vehicles.
