second generation terrafugia

second generation terrafugia


image: kibisi

the terrafugia flying car has made headlines around the world for its unique ability to drive on roads and
fly in the air. the danish firm kibisi was commissioned to take this design and update it for the second
generation model. the concept is a single engine two seater aircraft with foldable wings. the design was
a combine effort by kibisi and the engineers and team from terrafugia. the two teams set out to make the
vehicle something familiar despite its unusual function and form. one of the main improvements was to
increase the vehicle’s safety factor, adding some weight to the overall design, but meeting standards of
the automotive industry.
