We’ve been complaining for years that we don’t yet have those flying cars science fiction has always promised us. (Which makes us look awfully petty, considering all the other stuff SF never promised at all that we DID end up getting.)

The Woburn, Mass.-based company Terrafugia already has customers placing $10,000 deposits for the light two-person Transition plane, which the company plans to begin producing at the end of 2011 or early 2012.
