FUTURE VISION OF FLYING CAR (Terrafugia TF-X ) Prototypes developed of flying cars.

Not-yet-in-
production Transition

It’s a bold vision of a transportation future...
Terrafugia admits bringing the flying car to
production is a process ‘expected to last
8-12 years.

We don’t know how fast the TF-X
will go on road, but once airborne it’ll soar at
speeds of 200mph for a distance of up to
500 miles. In the event of failure, the TF-X
can deploy its full-vehicle parachute, allowing,
hopefully, the flying car to float safely down to
terra firma. It’s as yet unclear exactly how
much the TF-X might cost, but Terrafugia has
hinted that the final price ‘could be on-par
with the very high-end luxury cars of today!

Terrafugia reckons the TF-X ‘should be
statistically safer than driving a modern
automobile’, and says learning to fly it will
take just five hours of training.That’s thanks,
at least in part, to a high degree of autonomy:
once airborne, the TF-X will effectively fly itself –
though the driver can override the controls –
and land automatically, without human input !
