This document summarizes the Terrafugia Transition, a flying car that is expected to be released in 2011. The Transition can carry two people, is controlled with a steering wheel, and can be stored in a standard garage. It has wings and a propeller that allow it to fly at speeds up to 115 mph with a range of 460 miles. The Transition takes off within 500 meters and uses unleaded gasoline, making it more environmentally friendly than other aircraft. This flying car aims to resolve issues with previous designs by being practical enough to use as a normal vehicle on roads and fit in a standard garage.

3. With the passage of time, technology has been in continuous progress to the point that this year, 2011, will be released in the U.S. flying car. This car will be marketed under the name "Terrafugia Transitions. " Even the flying car was invented and in 2009 successfully met the conditions of flight, and now in 2011, this project becomes fully enhanced. In fact, since the 50's, flying cars are being created, and some have been introducedto the market, the difference is that each time, come with great improvements.

4. ABSTRACT

5. Transition and wheel this car and flies through the State of Massachusetts, where it was developed, and would be available in the market from next year for about $ 200,000. This is a car that can carry two crew members, is handled with a wheel similar to a conventional car and can be stored in a standard size garage. According Terrafugia, its creator, one of the main advantages of "being too car is safety and that can be driven on the road in case of bad weather, rather than be prevented from flying or taking off in dangerous conditions. The flying car Transition also has four wheels and wings usual eight meters down-scale coupled with a rear propeller will be able to rise and soar. Weighs 600 kilograms. But quiet to manning the pilot need not be flying because it requires only a U.S. license comes with 20 hours of flight. The 'aircraft wheels, ' as called Terrafugia, can fly at speeds of up to 114.5mph (184kms / h) and their average flight is 460millas (740kms). To take off, you need a track about 500 meters. Thanks to use unleaded gas instead of fuel for airplanes or planes, the aircraft flying car is the most 'green' is in the world, consuming just 7.85 liters of gasoline per 60millas flight. This prototype will drive the front wheels to travel through the streets and a propeller to fly.

6. Since the fifties have developed flying cars and even one has come to stand. Those who had so far proved impossible in normal use because they were too bulky, large and complicated to manage. The system off of one of those memory was similar to that of the helicopter and that consuming but much fuel. Later this year, however, see the presentation of a flying car that puts an end to all these problems. This is the Terrafugia Transition, a car perfectly capable of performing all kinds of journeys carreterasy that can be parked in a garage normal.

7. CONCLUSIONS

9. Obviously, this car, will call attention worldwide, but mainly, will cause furor in first world countries, and technological.

10. It is hoped that this new model, successfully meets all flight testing and management, scheduled.
