Every pilot faces uncertain weather, rising costs, and ground transportation
hassles on each end of the flight. The Transition(r) combines the unique
convenience of being able to fold its wings with the ability to drive on any
surface road in a modern personal airplane platform. Stowing the wings for
road use and deploying them for flight at the airport is activated from
inside the cockpit. This unique functionality addresses head-on the issues
faced by today's Private and Sport Pilots.
Terrafugia's award-winning MIT-trained engineers have been advancing the
state-of-the-art in personal aircraft since 2006. Now you can streamline
your flying experience with the revolutionary integration of personal land
and air travel made possible by the Transition(r) Roadable Aircraft.
