Terrafugia Can Transform into a Plane
The people who are behind the Terrafugia Transition may be watching too much “Transformers” and science fiction movies. Whatever the case may be, we may soon witness the first transforming car. The Terrafugia Transition concept car can reportedly transform from a two-seater plane into a road-legal car with just one push of a button.
“It’s like a little Transformer,” says Carl Dietrich, the Terrafugia boss, proudly. “This is the first really integrated design where the wings fold up automatically and all the parts are in one vehicle. All we have is one simple folding wing, and that means the Transition takes just 15 seconds to switch between flying and driving.”
The Terrafugia Transition is expected to be unveiled by next month and seen in showrooms by next year.
