At just under 20 feet long, seven feet tall, and with a wingspan near 30 feet, this land-and-air-craft promises to run equally smoothly on the road as it will in the clouds.
What can fit in a typical garage, drive down to the nearest airfield, and take to the air without missing a beat? The Transition, due to debut this summer at just under a quarter of a million dollars from the Terrafugia company.
The new vehicle belongs to the category of roadable aircraft that have appeared on drawing boards and as prototypes since the invention of flight. But this version fits in highway lanes and travels on the ground at car speed. In the air, it's expected to have a 460-mile range at 30 mpg and with a cruise speed of 100 mph.
