One of the most interesting thing about time travel stories and stories set in the future are those flying cars we were supposed to have already had by now.
Well maybe flying cars are finally on their way. Actually there was one flying car already that never went into production. A company called Aerocar of Longview, Wash., debuted one of the first flying cars in 1949. The company built six prototypes, one of which is sitting in the EAA's museum, but never went into production.
Fast forward to 2009. A Boston-area company plans to begin flight tests this year of a two-seater airplane that moonlights as a car. You can fly 500 miles on a tank of gas, and when you land you simply fold up the wings and drive down the road. Well it's certainly a start. Like all things if somebody thinks there is a buck to be made then we will eventually all have those Back to the Future type automobiles. Some day.

This one will cost you. The vehicle carries a price tag of $194,000.
