After over a decade of testing and development, the Terrafugia Transition has obtained an FAA Special Light-Sport Aircraft (LSA) airworthiness certificate. This two-seat aircraft and automobile has been designed to meet safety standards from both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It’s powered by a 100-hp Rotax 912iS Sport fuel-injected engine with a 2,000 hr TBO capable of a flight speed of 100 mph and runs on either premium gasoline or 100LL airplane fuel.
The base model will include a Dynon Skyview avionics package, a BRS airframe parachute, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes, a rigid carbon fiber safety cage, and folding wings that enable you to store it in a single-car garage. Initially, The Transition aims to provide pilots and flight schools with an aircraft featuring enhanced safety capabilities and the latest avionics.

We are excited to have reached our goal of an airworthiness certificate for the initial version. During an extremely challenging pandemic year, our team remained focused, improved our quality system, completed the critical aspects of the design, built the vehicle, completed 80 days of flight testing, delivered 150 technical documents, and successfully passed the FAA audit. This is a major accomplishment that builds momentum in executing our mission to deliver the world’s first practical flying car,” said Kevin Colburn, Vice President and General Manager of Terrafugia.
