Transition is a flying car that has been in development since 2006. It has a design similar to a conventional car, with wings that can be folded when landing.
The Terrafugia Transition is powered by a gasoline engine and has a range of up to 640 km on the road and 64 km in the air. This model is planned to be sold at a starting price of €200,000 (IDR 3.3 billion).
Unfortunately, the delivery of units to consumers has been delayed because the company had to move its offices and development facilities from the United States to China.
In addition to these three cars, there are still several other flying cars that are also in the development stage and are scheduled to go on sale in the next few years. The presence of flying cars will certainly bring about major changes in the transportation industry.
Flying cars are believed to be a faster and more efficient transportation alternative, especially for long distances. However, flying cars also still have some challenges to overcome, such as flight regulations and safety.
