The Flying Car - It's About Time

Flying Car
Ahh, Murphy, Texas. Your huge lots inspire dreams, your new toll road named after President George Bush fills us with pride, and your flying cars thrill us with visions of the future. Murphy residents Vernon Porter and Clarence Kissell, retired engineers from the idyllic town, are bringing the Jetsons fantasy to life with the GT Flyer, pictured above.

A flying car may sound like a pipe dream, but these guys are for real. They plan to have a working prototype in August followed by a final version in about five years. Powered by a 232-horsepower Mazda RX8 rotary engine, The GT Flyer will be licensed as a motorcycle as it sits on only three wheels. Porter and Kissell hope to win NASA's Personal Air Vehicle Centennial Challenge and turn the GT into every commuter's dream.
