We had reported about Terrafugia’s Transition two years ago, and the group of
engineering students behind this flying car have not been resting on their
laurels since.
Carl Dietrich,
founder and CEO, last week thanked the public for the support shown to help
bring the Transition to market as a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA).
In an open letter
Dietrich said if the Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. agrees with the
public sentiment, he was confident many more people would be able “to benefit
from the increased level of safety and convenience that only the Transition can
provide”.
Terrafugia co-founder
Samuel Schweighart said the flying car could be ready by next year. The company
is based in Boston, where readers of the Boston
Business Journal last year voted the Transition their favourite tech
development in 2014, ahead of umbrellas and cupcakes.
