Terrafugia's Street Legal Airplane At New York International
Auto Show
The Transition Roadable Aircraft, developed by Terrafugia, makes
its auto show debut at the 2012 New York International Auto Show
(NYIAS), April 6th through the 15th at the Jacob Javits Convention
Center in New York City. After years of testing and engineering
breakthroughs, Terrafugia has decided it is time to share their
unique product with the legions of fans attracted to the NYIAS.
"The Transition is a truly unique vehicle that represents an
enormous step forward in how we view personal transportation and
individual freedom," said Show Director Alan Liebensohn. "We know
it will be a huge crowd pleaser."
Anna Mracek Dietrich, COO of Terrafugia, said New York
International Auto Show was chosen to continue the roll-out of the
Transition because of the value this show brings in terms of
exposure to future owners, investors, and partners. "The NYIAS is a
venue from which we can show the first practical street-legal
airplane to the world while meeting the people who will be part of
its commercial success in the years to come. New York is the
perfect place to accomplish all of this," he said.
During the press preview portion of the NYIAS, Terrafugia will
present the latest generation Transition production prototype as
well as details of the company's future plans. Public attendees at
the show will get up-close and personal with the street-legal
vehicle, witness wing-folding demonstrations, and meet some of the
staff behind the futuristic design. Video of the Transition in
flight and on the road will also be shown, allowing
convention-goers to see the future of personal transportation in
action.
