TERRAFUGIA Transition

Terrafugia The Transition is the first real flying car On Road and in the Skies .. I was inspired by this and made a music video dedicated to the guys who made this project possible with the song Together in electric dreams by Philip Oakley and Giorgio Moroder. Terrafugia is a private company based in Woburn, Massachusetts that is developing The Transition, a roadable aircraft that the company describes as a Personal Air Vehicle.

The aircraft is designed to change configurations, enabling it to operate as a traditional road vehicle and as a general aviation airplane.The aero-auto hybrid will be designed to be capable of landing at an airport and then folding the wings in and becoming a roadable vehicle. Terrafugia was founded by graduates of the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and graduates of the MIT Sloan School of Management.

Terrafugia was incorporated in 2006. The Transition "Personal Air Vehicle" is expected to be released in late 2009. The estimated purchase price is $ 194,000. Owners will drive the car from their garage to an airport, and then they will then be able to fly within a range of 100 to 500 miles. It will carry two people plus luggage and will operate on a single tank of regular unleaded gas. The Transition made its maiden flight on March 5th 2009. It lasted 37 seconds and covered 3000 feet of the runway at the Plattsburgh International Airport. The test pilot then proceeded to make 6 more takeoffs and landings.
