AEROCAR TERRAFUGIA
Contents: 1. Introduction.
HISTORY & GENERATIONS • Curtiss Auto plane: • In 1917, Glenn Curtiss unveiled the first attempt at a flying vehicle. • His aluminum Auto plane had three wings and a four-bladed propeller at the back…
Continue... • Arrow bile: • In 1937, Waterman developed Arrow bile-was a tailless ,two seated and single engine car .
Continue... • Airphibian: • In 1946 Robert Fulton had developed, but in this case he had adapted a plane for the road. • The wings and tail section of the plane could be removed to travel like car on roads only in 5 min. • This was the first flying car to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)*.
Continue... • Terrafugia: • Founded by Carl Dietrich , Anna Dietrich etc, in 2006. • Their mission is to provide creative solutions to personal aviation. • Latest type of Aerocar • We are going to present is this…….!!!
SPECIFICATIOS(Terrafugia) • Cost: $279,000(Rs. 29295000) • Speed: • On road: 110 km/hr. • Plane speed(in air): 172 km/hr. • Gas tank: 87 litter. • Engine: 100 hp. • Driving force: Rear wheel drive • Safety: Full vehicle parachute. • Tall: 80” (2m). • Wide: 90” (2.3m). • Long: 18’ 9” (6m). • Fuel: High octane (Gasoline). • Wings length: 8 meters.
WORKING PRINCIPLES • The flying car Transition-which convert its state from car to aircraft, also has four wheels and wings usual of eight meters, coupled with a rear propeller will be able to rise. • The jet fuel and engine with propulsion system (to take off the car fly) should be used.
Continue... • Terrafugia can fly at speed of up to 184- km/hr • Its average flight is 740 km. • To take off , you need a track about 500 meters for landing.
Continue • To change of the car into a light plane, it only takes about 30 seconds. • Terrafugia also provide special training for every consumer to be able to use this flying car safely
COMPARISON • Till Terrafugia we have different flying car’s models. • We do comparison just on transition’s basis-how a car converting to aircraft. • Because rest of the features have not deep contrast.
Continue • The past models: • The transition’s duration of those models was about 5 minutes. • Terrafugia: • Has the transition’s duration about 30sec. • In this case wings are folding and expanding for different transitions.
FUTURE EXPECTATIONS • Another advanced future Aerocar IS ‘ TF-X ’.
