The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly.They say that it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then you are good to go.When you land,you fold up the wings and hit the road.There are no expensive parking fees because you don’t have to store it at an airport—you park it in the garage at home.
The carplane is designed to fly primarily under 10,000 feet.It has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,430 pounds,including fuel and passengers.Terrafugia says the Transition reduces the potential for an accident by allowing pilots to drive under bad weather instead of flying into marginal(临界的) conditions.
The Transition’s price tag: $194,000.But there may be additional charges for options like a radio,transponder or GPS.Another option is a fullplane parachute.
“If you get into a very awful situation,it is the necessary safety option,” Gersh said.
So far,the company has more than 70 orders with deposits.“We are working very closely with them,but there are still some remaining steps,” Brown said.
