ISRAEL EXPECTS SKY CARS BY THE END OF 2015
Breitbart ^ | 25 Jun 2014 | by JORDAN SCHACHTEL

A futuristic elevated transportation system is set to appear on Israel Aerospace Industries’ (IAI) campus in Tel Aviv, Israel.

The first sky car system of its kind will feature a 550 yard elevated sky car prototype loop, according to skyTran, the company based at the NASA research park in California and tasked for building the advanced prototype within the city of Tel Aviv.

The sky cars will have room for two, and will be suspended from an elevated track using Magnetic Levitation Technology. SkyTran hopes that the system will help to drastically reduce traffic congestion in Tel Aviv. The vehicles can reach a max speed of 43 miles per hour, although the company said the commercially available car should be able to reach a “much higher” top speed.

The system is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2015.

SkyTran is hopeful the future success of the test track brings about greater interest for future sky car projects.

In Israel this means by the end of 2025.

Just think what these amazing people could accomplish if the Paleostinians would leave them alone!

No doubt the Arabs (always Jealous and really revolting)will do their best to sabotage progress, they always do. Where do you think the old British term “Philistine” comes from? Example, in the late 19th century an upper crust Brit would say to another, “Don't be so Philistine about it”, meaning...primitive.

It sounds more like a mag-lev style train than a flying-car.
