Flying Cars are Ready
Have you ever thought about the day you can buzz around in your very own flying machine?
Well, that day may be very nearer than you think.
And here’s that good news — a lot of people are building machines you’ll be
able to buy.
One of those people is an inventor named Woody Norris. He will receive America’s top prize for this invention. It’s called the Lemelson-MIT award — a half-million dollar cash prize to honor his life’s work, which includes a brand new personal flying machine.
It’s called the AirScooter, and self-taught inventor Woody Norris says it goes on sale later this year.
Norris, 66, asked one of his test pilots to demonstrate the AirScooter for 60 Minutes on a hilltop outside San Diego, Calif. It can fly for 2 hours at 55 mph, and go up to 10,000 feet above sea level.
