The Transition : Flying Car by Terrafugia
Posted by : Dexter Panganiban |Have you heard about the NEWS regarding flying car that has been conceptualized long before 2006 by a group of MIT graduates in US. A team called Terrafugia developed a what so called Flying Car.
Taking advantage of new FAA regulations in the Light Sport Aircraft category, Terrafugia developed the Transition® to provide pilots the convenience of a dual-purpose vehicle. Its unique design allows the Transition® to fold its wings and drive on any surface road with a modern personal airplane platform. Once at the airport, the wings extend and the aircraft is ready for take-off. Both folding and extending the wings is done from inside the cockpit.
