Arlington, United States military's heart, the Pentagon over defense research center (Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Project Agency = DARPA) was researching something that is more general. They are now back working on flying car project through a program called "Transformers".

DARPA said the party, the purpose of the program Transformer (TX) is to create a vehicle for one to four passengers can be driven at once to fly. In addition, vehicles will also have combat abilities, avoiding the water, difficult terrain, road barriers, the threat of ambush, until the danger bombs (improvised explosive devices / IED).

TX workshop will begin on January 14 next year with a variety of preparations including the company appointed chaperone. This report quoted insideline.com (30/12/09).

One of the obstacles faced with a surplus of vehicles able to protect and hold will attack, they had difficulty when passing and be landed like in Afghanistan. The reason, a variety of terrain. Such difficult conditions expected to be a crucial factor.

Well, in a DARPA project to see three things in that program. Here they create a solid vehicle that is designed to have maximum military capability, but with the lowest possible cost. Then create a flying car technology can be realized, and the final prototype able to conquer all terrain conditions.

Some of the technologies that will be created, among others, adaptive wing, propeller channel, the material vehicles, hybrid systems, and battery vehicles.
