A CAR OF THE FUTUREPre-Reading ActivitiesA: Short DiscussionAnswer these questions with a partner:What kind of vehicle do you think you will be driving in 2010?How different do you think it will be from present-day cars?(You could think about design, engine and speed.)Reading ActivitiesA: ComprehensionRead the questions and look for the answers in the article. (Note: Today's article is divided into different sections.)1. What is the name of the aviation company who will test the car?2. What is special about the car?3. What is the name of the car?4. When will the car have its first test journey?Company Plans To Test 'Flying Car'Wednesday May 26 LONDON (Reuters) - A U.S. aviation company is planning to test a revolutionary new ``flying car'' that will hover above the ground and could change the way people travel in the future.Moller International, of California, plans to take the so-called Skycar on its maiden journey in the next few weeks and could reveal it to the press by the end of the year, New Scientist magazine said on Wednesday.5. How many people will it seat? 6. How many miles per liter of gas will it do?7. What will its highest speed be?The Batmobile shaped vehicle will seat four people, do about five miles per liter of gas, have a top speed of over 370 miles per hour and will take off and land vertically.8. How high will it fly on its first flight?9. How long will it hover before it lands on its first flight?10. How will later flights be different?11. In the future who will be able to fly one of the Skycars?"On its first flight, the Skycar will rise to a height of two meters (six feet) or so, hover for one minute and then land, just like a Harrier jump jet," the magazine said."Later flights will be more ambitious. Once the aircraft receives a license from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) anyone with a pilot's license will be able to fly one in the U.S.," it said.12. Who thought of the idea?13. How much will this Skycar cost?14. How
long has he been working on this project for?15. The design is still not perfect. But how much could the car cost in the future?16. In the future who or what will actually fly the car?The vehicle, which will be hand-built and cost about $1 million, is the brainchild of Paul Moller, who founded the company. He has been working on the project for 30 years.Once the design is perfected and mass produced, Moller estimates it could cost about $60,000."The first Skycars will be fly-by-wire vehicles. In other words, while the pilot tells the craft what to do, a computer will actually do the flying, taking the vehicle's rate of turn, and altitude into account when it responds to instructions," the magazine said.Article 1999 Reuters Limited.
