Curent Events (the first flying car)

Many people have made lies about the flying car, but this time it's not a lie. Scientist are working on a car that could fly and is small enough to fit in your garage. The only problem is that they still have to test the car in the flying part. They already passed the part for riving. Also, another problem is that it is illegal to take off of a regular road except for Alaska. If this becomes legal, there will be another problem because if you are on a highway, it is really hard to find an open spot to fly off of. The features of this plane is that it has wings that could bend because if you are driving, and is a two seat car/plane. Scientists say that they will work on the engine for flying and hopefully test fly it in February. If it is successful it will be a huge accomplishment. Too bad the flying car was said to be about $800,000.00!!!!!

My opinion of this article is that they should not make this car because it will cause more pollution in the air causing birds to die. This is not good because the flying car only take 500 miles per tank. It's not fuel efficient in any way because it will take a lot of fuel. (Plus to see how the car/plane works, there is a little video of it).
