MIT student's flying car, desktop reactor, cheap rocket engine
MIT grad student Carl Dietrich won the $30,000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for
Inventiveness. A PhD candidate in the Aeronautics and Astronautics program,
he's created novel designs for a personal flying car, desktop fusion reactor,
and a lower-cost rocket engine. According to an article in Newsweek, he plans
to take pre-orders for the flight vehicles, called the Transition, starting
in July. It will cost around $100,000. From Newsweek:

you can drive it to the airport, extend its origami-like wings, take off at
double the highway speed and fly up to 500 miles away, then touch down and
park it in your host's garage. With the wings folded, the Transition is about
the size of an Escalade, with a little less cargo space. Of course, it's a
little more difficult to maneuver—it requires a sport pilot's license—so
it's not likely to replace your standard flightless car.
"It's not like every Joe Schmo and soccer mom on a cell phone is going to
be driving one," says Dietrich...
