The flying-car phenomenon of the 21st century

 

Specs

 

Created by celebrated MIT-trained engineers, the 1,320 pound Terrafugia Transition-an aircraft car-stands over 6 feet tall, with a length passing 19 feet and featuring a 27’ 6 wingspan. This light aircraft possesses both automotive and airplane features, including front wheel drive, tank fit for 20 gallons of fuel with 30 mpg road travel, airbags and a crash safety device. For the aircraft side, the Terrafugia features two automatic folding wings, a cargo for personal items and a parachute for escaping the danger of crashing.

 

Benefits

 

Ordinary citizens who possess the Terrafugia Transition will enjoy a host of benefits such as the option to drive on the road or fly in the air, avoiding the harassment and confusion of commercial flights, (if not entirely now, certainly in the near future when more sophisticated models are produced).

 

The ability to drive to work when the weather is bad or fly to work when the skies are blue is one the key benefits of this 21^st century aircraft phenomenon. In one way or another Terrafugia Transition will not allow you to miss a single day at the office, if that is what you prefer?

 

Another benefit for the owner of a Terrafugia Transition is the ability to get away from the daily grind. When personal conditions are overwhelming at home and on the job, this light sport aircraft can provide a temporary escape from it all. In fact, that is exactly what the word Terrafugia mean: escape.

 

Downside

 

The downside about the arrival of the Terrafugia Transition into modern society is the initial problems it may produce flight-wise. As the demand increases across the nation, a new aviation system will have to be designed to maintain air traffic safety. In the mean time,  pilots will have to be thoroughly trained to avoid potential disasters, including bird flocks, telephone poles, and  potential crashes with other small as well as large aircraft.

 

Bottom line

 

Otherwise the Terrafugia Transition is a worthwhile phenomenon that will become a prominent reality in the 21^st century. The possibility of driving a car and flying within it on the same day is beyond our wildest dreams. Travel will never be the same. For a $10, 000 down payment on this $194.000 aircraft, you can become among the few who are able afford this exciting, innovative form of transportation.
