Images of the improved Transition® design are now available!

Terrafugia held a press conference today at AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to unveil the next generation design of the TransitionÂ® street-legal airplane. The event, where a scale model was unveild, was well attended by the aviation community. Computer-generated images and video are now available online throughout #-Link-Snipped-#. The initial reactions to the new design have been overwhelmingly positive -- we hope you like it too!

Some of the features of the next generation design include:

Automotive-style crash safety features including an energy absorbing crush structure in the nose of the vehicle and a rigid safety cage to protect the occupants.
A customized, intuitive touch-screen interface in the cockpit.
An improved wing with an optimized airfoil and a folding mechanism that operates smoothly & safely from inside the cockpit.
A pusher propller with an open empennage that makes efficient use of the 100 hp Rotax 912S mid-mounted engine in flight and is locked in place when driving.
[*]Rear-wheel drive with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and tuned independed suspension for responsive road handling.
