The Terrafugia
TF-X Flying Car Can Fit Inside A Garage
The Terrafugia TF-X is the first fully autonomous flying car under development by Boston-based
Terrafugia. Its expected
to be ready by 2018 which is right around
the corner. The TF-X seats four passengers and uses an engine combined with two electric motors for
propulsion. The TF-X is capable of vertical take-off and landing by extending its retractable wings attached with pusher propellers while aerial thrust is provided by a ducted fan at the
rear. It will be able to fit in a single car garage.
Powered by two plug-in hybrid 600-horsepower electric motors and a 300-horsepower fuel engine, the TF-X is planned to have a flight range of 500 miles (805 km) with a cruising flight speed of 200 mph (322 km/h) without the need to refuel or
recharge.
In the video below, the TF-X will demonstrate
its versatility, as well as its operational
capabilities.
