Menurut
Boston Business Journal, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif

kerja-kerja sedia untuk dikeluarkan pada pertengahan 2016.
Bercakap

telah menerima 100 pra-pesanan untuk kenderaan - setiap satu menelan kos
kira-kira $ 279,000 - dan rancangan untuk dapat menunaikan permintaan dalam

Setakat

Company
promises to start mass producing
flying cars by 2016 (VIDEO) . . .
The
inventors of a flying car say they are only two years away and a few million dollars
short of having their product ready for the public.
According
to the Boston Business Journal, the CEO of Woburn,
Massachusetts manufacturer Terrafugia said this week that he’s narrowing in on
having a car/plane hybrid that’s been long in the works ready to be released in
mid-2016.
Speaking
to the Journal, CEO Carl Dietrich acknowledged that he has already received 100
pre-orders for the vehicle - each costing roughly $279,000 - and plans on being
able to fulfill those requests within the next two years.
So
far, Dietrich said, he’s received nearly $13 million from angel investors,
which helped fund the creation of a prototype of his Transition vehicle. Last
year, Dietrich successfully demonstrated that the Transition is ready for both
the open road and open sky.
Pada
laman web Terrafugia itu, Transition itu disebut-sebut sebagai
"pengangkutan masa depan hari ini."
"Satu
kapal terbang jalan-undang-undang yang menukarkan antara terbang dan mod
memandu di bawah satu minit, Transition membawa tahap baru kebebasan,
fleksibiliti dan menyeronokkan untuk penerbangan peribadi," tuntutan laman
web ini. "Ia mem-berikan juruterbang pilihan untuk mendarat dan memandu
dalam cuaca buruk, menye-diakan pengangkutan darat bersepadu di kedua-dua hujung
penerbangan, dan sesuai dalam garaj kereta tunggal standard di rumah."
Menurut
laman web, Transition sama sekali jalan undang-undang dan mampu untuk terbang
dalam dan di luar sekurang-kurangnya 5,000 lapangan terbang awam di Amerika
Syarikat. Walaupun dengan prototaip yang berjaya di belakangnya, walaupun,
Dietrich berkata, ianya masih mendatang sehingga kekurangan dana yang
diperlukan untuk mengambil projek untuk peringkat seterusnya.
On
Terrafugia’s website, the Transition is touted as “the transportation of the
future today.”
“A
street-legal airplane that converts between flying and driving modes in under a
minute, the Transition brings a new level of freedom, flexibility and fun to
personal aviation,” the site claims. “It gives the pilot the option to land and
drive in bad weather, provides integrated ground transportation on both ends of
the flight, and fits in a standard single car garage at home.”
According
to the website, the Transition is totally street legal and able to fly in and
out of at least 5,000 public airports in the United States. Even with a
successful prototype behind him, though, Dietrich says he’s still coming up
short of the funds necessary to take his project to the next level.

Mengikut
anggaran beliau, ia akan mengambil satu lagi $ 30 juta untuk memulakan
pengeluaran pada Peralihan, katanya kepada Jurnal. Dalam pada itu dia tidak
menun-jukkan tanda-tanda kelembapan, bagaimanapun, dan hanya pada bulan lepas
disebab-kan Alex Min, bekas naib presiden pembangunan perniagaan di Sistem
Pertahanan Textron, sebagai ketua pemasaran Terrafugia dan pegawai jualan.
"Tugas
utama Min pada bulan-bulan akan modal lebih selamat bagi syarikat itu, yang
mempunyai pekerja kira-kira 2 lusin dan kemungkinan besar mengambil lebih
banyak pada tahun-tahun akan datang kerana ia tanjakan untuk pengeluaran,"
editor ber-teknologi Journal David Harris telah menulis pada hari Selasa minggu
ini.
"Ia
adalah masa yang sangat menarik bagi syarikat yang betul sekarang," Dietrich
memberitahu Harris. "Kami benar-benar melihat Terrafugia sebagai Tesla
akan datang."
"Ramai
telah dijanjikan kereta terbang apabila mereka yang lebih muda dan kini mereka
boleh mendapatkan satu," kata Dietrich.
Sebuah
kenderaan kedua terbang, TF-X, kini dalam fasa reka bentuk konsep, yang Journal
melaporkan, tetapi Terrafugia berharap di sekitar dekad pelanggan akan dapat
membeli kapal itu dan melayang di langit pada kelajuan sehingga 200 batu sejam.
By
his estimate, it’ll take another $30 million to start production on the
Transition, he told the Journal. In the meantime he shows no signs of slowing
down, however, and just last month brought on Alex Min, the former vice
president of business development at Textron Defense Systems, as Terrafugia’s
chief marketing and sales officer.
“Min's
main task in the coming months will be secure more capital for the company,
which has about two-dozen employees and will most likely hire more in the
coming years as it ramps up for production,” Journal tech editor David Harris
wrote on Tuesday this week.
"It's
a very exciting time for the company right now," Dietrich told Harris.
"We really do see Terrafugia as the next Tesla."
“Many
were promised a flying car when they were younger and now they can get one,”
DIetrich said.
A
second flying vehicle, the TF-X, is currently in its conceptual design phase,
the Journal reported, but Terrafugia hopes that in around a decade customers
will be able to buy that craft and soar through the sky at speeds of up to 200
miles per hour.
