Terrafugia,Inc. was founded by graduates of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a mission to expand personal mobility by integrating land & air travel. By combining solid aircraft design fundamentals with a focus on creativity and customer service, they came up with some quite interesting concepts, which’ll soon be a reality.
According to these geniuses, The Transition™ is a road-able aircraft rather than a flying car, in that will be able to land at the airport, fold up its wings, and drive on the road. This winged beauty is capable of flight, but is also street-legal like other automobiles and is hailed as the best dual-purpose concept to date.
To operate the Transition, however, we need to have a pilot’s license. It is targeted to be a Special Light Sport (S-LSA) vehicle and is for pilots, businesspeople, weekend travelers, and anyone who values their mobility and independence.
Check out videos on the Transition landing & driving at their site. Also included a free test-drive of this unique concept.
