"The Transition": the car-plane of the future
What do you think about this car-plane the "Transition" which is expected to be available in 2011? Terrafugia has completed its flight testing of the Transition POC (Proof of Concept). It's a plane that you can land at the airport, fold up the wings and drive home. Great idea! 20 years from now will we all have "Transitions"? Just think of the traffic jams in the sky! Check out Terrafugia.
Vocabulary:
available: disponible
flight: vuelo
proffo: prueba, comprobación
land: aterrizar
fold up: doblar
wings: alas
traffic jams: embotellamiento
sky: cielo

I love to teach and I love to learn. Over the years I've created hundreds of fun activities that make learning easy. We tried them out over and over again in the hallways, in the garden, in the street and yes, even in the classroom. Many are posted on this blog, "Shakespeare slept here." Many of you may have participated in them.
I've always been both a teacher and a student in San Francisco, in Mexico and in Madrid. I was an English teacher at UEM for 18+ years. Now I'm happily retired and on to the next adventure.

Will women be allowed to drive them?
Woman driving, constant danger
Will it work?
I'm not sure that the car-plane will be a good idea, a part that this cars will be very expensive we will have a lot of problems in the air. Actually nowadays we have problems in the roads with all these accidents produced every day and if we can not to control perfectly the driving in the roads what we expect we will do in a car that can fly. Another inconvenience is that we will need to learn how to drive a car-plane and do a lot of fly testing hours and I don't know but I don't think that these tests are chip and easy at all. In my opinion is better improve and start to innovate with cars that don't use hydrocarbons as the electric cars or the cars talked in on post of this blog, where say that there are cars that use the compressed air to move it. Therefore in my opinion these car-plane have too many inconvenient. Here I leave the link where you can look and post your comment about the cars moved by compressed air: http://comunidad.uem.es/shakespeare/2011/4/12/air-powered-cars#comments
