Described here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrafugia Can you tow a glider trailer with it? I don't think that canard is going to satisfy the low-speed collision standards for auto bumpers. 9B

That's the great thing about standards, 9B -- there are so many of
them! 2NO

I don't think that canard is going to satisfy the low-speed collision standards for auto bumpers. Maybe just as well. I haven't seen anything to indicate that there are accelerometers in the canard or elevator, so at least if the flying surfaces crumple you'll have visual indication that your Transition got thumped while you were in the supermarket. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

I don't think that canard is going to satisfy the low-speed collision standards for auto bumpers. Doesn't need to: the BSR parachute deploys, and a big white sheet settles down over the accident. Not as effective as airbags, but more fun for the onlookers. I'm thinking that $200,000 would buy you a much better airplane and several much better cars. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * Updated!
