This July, graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will try to make a car take to the air.
Terrafugia, a start-up created by students at MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, wants to show off a "personal air vehicle" at the EAA AirVenture Conference in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The hybrid car-airplane will carry two people and is designed to go 100 to 500 miles at a stretch. The vehicle exists only as a one-fifth scale model at the moment.
