Flying car impresses aviation enthusiasts as it completes maiden flight

A flying car – that admittedly resembles more of an airplane than the saloon it supposedly embodies on the road - has made aviation history by soaring across the skies for 20 minutes during its first public presentation.

Massachusetts-based firm Chas has created the winged vehicle that is said to cost around £200,00 but could be made available to customer as early as 2015.
