Terrafugia Company has said that its flying car, named Transition, has successfully finished a 37- second test flight

On March 5, 2009, at Plattsburgh International Airport in New York. It was piloted by Phil Meteer, the company's chief pilot.

Transition is a two-seat airplane that can take off and land at airports as well as drive on roads.  

The company said that the flying car can travel at speeds up to 115 mph for 450 miles in the air, drive at highway speeds on the ground, and fold up(折叠) to fit in a garage (车库) 81 inches wide, and 80 inches high.

This could be used in hospitals to transport patients so as to avoid road traffic. It may start running on wheels, and when it gets to traffic lights it can fly overhead the lights and keeps its way forward. So it’s good news to avoid traffic  problem and the traffic accidents.  

But some people say this is a going airplane rather than a flying car, at least on the appearance. Anyway, we are happy for scientific-technical progress, what a fantastical world in the near future!

Bali(巴厘岛) is home to most of Indonesia's Hindu minority. Here's how to get the most out of a 48­hour visit：

FRIDAY

3pm—There's nothing like a good meal. La Lucciola is the place to go, with its good food, great service and a beautiful view of the sea.

You can hire a car for some 450,000 rupiah per day. This will help you have more to spare during your trip there.

5pm—About an hour away from La Lucciola is Uluwatu. This southern tip of the island is famous for its temple that lies on the edge, high above the sea. Fire dance is performed here daily at sunset.

8pm—To finish off the evening, head to Jimbaran Bay where restaurants offer candles, dances, boys singing songs. Kick off your shoes, feel the sand, and enjoy the night.

SATURDAY

9：30am—Start the day with another taste of culture by heading for a “barong and keris” dance performance. It's held in many places. One is the Catur Eka Budi in Denpasar, capital of Bali.

12pm—About 50km from Denpasar is Kintamani, a favorite with tourists for the view of active volcano Mt. Batur. It's a good idea to reach Kintamani early as it gets cloudy after 3pm. Have lunch at a local restaurant with a view of Mt. Batur. Tourists can climb to Mt. Batur to catch the sunrise.

6：30pm—Spa(温泉疗养)time! Spa Hati is a good place. Book ahead.

SUNDAY

6am—It's time to go to the sea. Don't forget the camera.

10：30am—Another half­day trip to two of the most famous temples in Bali. Drive down to the Taman Ayun temple at Mengwi.

12am—Next up is the Tanah Lot temple, perhaps the most famous of them all. Built on a rock, it's best seen in the afternoon when it's against the sun or at sunset.
