Volante - Flying Car - 2003

Volante Aircraft is one of the few companies currently operating that can boast a working prototype. Called the Volante, the craft is capable of flying at speeds of 150 mph. It has a cockpit that detaches from the wings and tail, much like the Airphibian. The Volante made its first successful flight in August, 2003, in the Mojave Desert in California. The car component of the vehicle is currently undergoing further testing. The company plans to first market the vehicle as a do-it-yourself kit that hobbyists can build, rather than going for full-scale production.
