It can fly at a speed of 115 MPH, has a 460-mile range, and doubles as a car when its wings are folded up. The Transition will set you back close to $200,000 when it finally hits the market.[ATTACH]23626[/ATTACH]The SAX-40 is a joint project between engineers at The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Cambridge University in England. This aircraft seats 215 passengers and emits just 63 decibels during takeoff, compared to a whopping 150 decibels by a conventional airliner. The goal, notes Popular Science, is to build an aircraft that is "inaudible outside the airport."[ATTACH]23627[/ATTACH]The Aeroscraft ML866 boasts a vast 5,000 square feet of interior room for the ultimate luxury experience. This "flying yacht" reaches a top speed of 120 knots and has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.[ATTACH]23628[/ATTACH]A team of engineers at MIT have been awarded a $2 million contract by NASA to design a quieter and more efficient aircraft that could be released as soon as 2030. According to Dvice, "this squashed wide-body design is the team's preliminary effort."[ATTACH]23629[/ATTACH]RyanGT:Hey take a look at this road-able aircraft that is under development. They are expecting to have a flying model by the end of the year and are taking buyer deposits. As a pilot, I think this has tons more potential than the terrafugia.
