Flying cars could take off in Ohio

A company that is building a flying car could produce the vehicles in Dayton, Ohio.

The CEO of Terrafugia said the company has had discussions about moving production to Dayton, but he said he had no formal announcement.
According to published reports, the company is weighing a $4.4 million offer to move to Dayton.
"We've gotten more interest from Ohio than we've gotten from Massachusetts," Carl Dietrich, CEO of Terrafugia, told the Dayton Daily News.
He declined to say where that interest has originated or how strong the overtures from Ohio have been.

The company is talking about producing a flying car -- called a "Transition Roadable Aircraft Proof of Concept" vehicle. The Transition is a two-seat aircraft designed to take off and land at local airports and drive on any road.

"Transforming from plane to car takes the pilot less than 30 seconds," the company's Web site says.

Ohio needs jobs badly, the whole area (Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky) need jobs badly with so many plants shutting down around here. I hope it works out.

Man . . . . . flying cars. Not like anyone has predicted those since . . . . . like the early 1900s!

Still haven't seen one. When someone does, post pics.
