It has been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flying car is set to hit the roads this year.

Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s,designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at the push of a button.And now pilots can order their own “roadable” plane for just £ 127,000.

The plane, which has fold-out wings that span(翼展)17.5ft,has a range of flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 115 mph.Back on the land,it can also travel at“highway speeds”in car mode(模式).

Fueling the 19ft. long plane couldn’t be simpler----you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up.

A spokeswoman said, “You can keep you ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage.But because it needs a short runway to take to the air, you will have to drive to your local airport,fly up to 460 miles, land,and drive directly to your destination.You will always be ready to drive or fly."

The spokeswoman added,“Never let bad weather change your trip.You call simply divert(改道)and continue on the ground until the weather clears.”

There is no risk to you—This is only the chance for you to be the first at your home field to unfold your wings and fly into the future.

A survey has shown that what you do on a plane can be determined by which nationality is listed on your passport.

According to the results of an international passenger survey, Australians are the biggest drinkers on board with 36 percent choosing to down the hatch, compared to 35 percent of Americans and 33 percent of Brits.

The Airline Passenger Experience Association(APEX) spoke to around 1,500 people, aged 18 and older, who have travelled by plane at least once during the last three months and were living in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, China, Singapore, Australia and Brazil.

The results found Chinese travelers are most likely to nod off once the seat-belt sign switches off. They are also the first to take out their credit card for some in-flight shopping and the biggest fans of gaming. Americans on the other hand like to use their time in the air more productively—when not drinking—choosing to work while flying at 35,000 feet.

Meanwhile, Brits and Germans are the best at making chat with random strangers—spending 50 percent more time than any other nationality. Comparatively, Brazilians conduct their conversations online via email, messaging apps or social media.

Despite plane food having a bad reputation, seven out of ten interviewees said they were happy to eat up on the selection of in-flight snacks and meals. In-flight magazines were also popular with four out of five passengers.

The international flyers did however express their desire for better in-flight entertainment. “The industry has greatly improved the comfort, entertainment and onboard service, and passengers are accepting those improvements” said Russell Lemieux, APEX executive director. “At the same time, passengers are demanding more from their air travel experiences which will drive more improvements touching all aspects of the journey.” he added.
