Aviation

Range: 500 miles (800 km)

Cruise Speed: 200 mph (320 km/h)

Engine Fuel: Unleaded automotive gasoline

Electric Motor Pods: 1 MW of power

Dimensions: The TF-X™ will fit in a single car garage or standard parking space.

Takeoff and Landing: The TF-X™ will take off and land vertically from a level clearing of at least 100 feet (30 meters) in diameter.

Certification: Flying the TF-X™ will require substantially less training time than a traditional pilot´s license or sport pilot certificate. Driving the TF-X™ will require a standard US driver´s license.

Pricing: The price will be consistent with high-end luxury cars. More specific pricing information will become available as we progress in the development of the TF-X™ program.

TECHNICAL OPERATIONS

The TF-X™ will have several unique technical components. The information provided below details our vision for the TF-X™´s technical operations.

Conversion between Flight and Drive Modes: The TF-X™ will employ Terrafugia´s folding-wing technology to seamlessly convert between flight and drive modes in under a minute. In the drive configuration, the TF-X™ will fit in a standard single car garage or parking space, and conversion between modes will only be possible. At the same time, the vehicle is parked and operated by a trained user.

Computer Controlled Flight: The TF-X™ will employ simplified flight controls and require significantly less flight training than a traditional aircraft. All flight planning will be completed prior to departure, and the vehicle will automatically take off, fly to its destination, and land, all at the push of a button. The operator will have the final say regarding whether it is safe to perform a takeoff or a landing. The operator will have the option to engage in a semi-manual flight mode if they would like to deviate from the planned flight path within applicable safety and regulatory restrictions.

Electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL): Two propellers powered by all-electric motor pods on either side of the vehicle will be used for VTOL operations. Because the pods will be all-electric, noise impact will be minimal, and the gas engine used for the cruise will recharge the batteries during flight.

Comprehensive Safety Features: The TF-X™ will offer the best of both cars and airplanes, and safety is no exception. In addition to a full suite of automotive safety features, including a crumple zone, safety cage, airbags, and pre-tensioning load-limiting seatbelts, the TF-X™ will also be equipped with a full-vehicle parachute system and cutting-edge collision avoidance technologies.
