The Transition, a hybridized surface and air combo vehicle is currently in the POC (Proof of Concept) stage. So far, it has been promising.If all goes well, commercial production will start in 2011.
A spokesman of the production company,Terrafugia explains,"Simply land at the airport, fold your wings up and drive home. The test distance has been 725 kilometers at speeds of 115 km /hour."
He added,"You do require a special license to drive and fly the Transition."
Flight testing has yielded the following information.
The time required for the transition from plane to car takes less than 30 seconds.
Vehicle speed is 185 km /hour, while range is 724 km on highways.
Vehicle is fueled with gasoline,
The price of the car is expected to be around $200,000.
So in our currency, it adds up to something like RM700,000. A small price for buying sheer luxury!
