Video: Production-ready flying car due to debut

A car that flies has been a staple of science fiction for years, not to mention the movies – remember Scaramanga's example in The Man with the Golden Gun? Well, you can now order one.

The Terrafugia Transition has been under development since 2006 and will be officially launched at the New York Auto Show next month. In case you were wondering about the dreadfully contrived name, Terrafugia is derived from Latin and means "escaping the earth".
