Moulton B. Taylor in 1949 created the world’s first Aerocar and after that some were created in 1956. It is a transformer and can be used as both a plane and a car. Only five of these are still existing and is now owned by a Coloradian named Ed Sweeny. He had paid $150,000 21 years ago and now can fetch up to $1 million if he decides to sell it.

However, the guy plans to keep it as a family treasure and would not sell it for anything. It can reach speeds of 60 mph and when it is flying it can reach speeds of 150 mph. You would never be able to buy this awesome flying car and thus proves the theory that money cannot buy everything in life.

March of this year heralded a transition in the mode of transport, offering a glimpse into the future. With the first successful test drive/flight of Terrafugia’s Transition, the idea of being able to fly a car became almost a reality. The fact that the Transition was commercially available, for almost $200,000, seemed to seal the deal.

Giving the Transition tough competition is the High Road. Designed by Stephen Harris who owns the company Leigh Aerosystems, the High Road is a flying automobile that appears even more viable for use on stable roads than does the Transition. Viewed from in front, the vehicle looks no different than any other car, but the wings folded alongside and the tapered aerodynamic design give it away. The High Road can cruise at a top speed of 180mph at 15,000ft. Initial wind tunnel tests at the San Diego Air and Space Museum would show just how fine the design and mechanism of the flying automobile is.
