SCI-FLY New ‘Jetsons law’ paves the way for flying cars from August 1 and will allow future aircraft to be classed as vehicles
The law effectively allows flying cars and regulates where they can take off and land
DRIVERS will be allowed to take to the sky in a second state, according to a new August 1 law.
Minnesota passed a new road law that set the stage for a new era of flying cars.
State lawmakers passed the so-called Jetsons law, which goes into effect on August 1, according to local Fox affiliate KMSP-TV.
The legislation officially defines a "roadable aircraft" as a vehicle that can both fly and drive on public highways.
The definition includes airplane-to-car hybrids designed for road use that are capable of taking off and landing at an airfield.
The law simplifies the process for these dual-purpose vehicles to be registered as motor vehicles.
Drivers can use a tail number to replace traditional license plates.
Tail numbers are unique identifiers typically assigned to planes.
On the road, these innovative vehicles will be treated like regular cars.
The vehicles must abide by Federal Aviation Administration rules when they take to the air.
