ST. PAUL – What many believe is a significant move towards the future of transportation, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently signed a bipartisan transportation bill that includes provisions for the use of flying cars, called “roadable aircraft.”
The new law outlines the requirements for state registration of the “roadable aircraft,” allowing them to be driven on state roads and highways. While these vehicles can operate as both cars and planes, takeoff and landing on public roads are prohibited unless there is an emergency.
Samson Sky, one of the creators of a company that makes the street-legal airplane says it can fly up to 500 miles on a single tank of gas.
Minnesota is the second state in the U.S. to make flying cars legal. in 2020, New Hampshire passed similar legislation.
