The Terrafugia Transition, closest thing to a flying car/aircraft hybrid yet built, has received a unique exemption from the US government allowing production models to be 110 pounds heavier than a normal “light sport aircraft”. This will permit the car/plane combo to satisfy safety requirements when driving on roads, according to The Daily Telegraph (UK).
The Transition was designed as a “light sport” aircraft, the smallest kind of private aeroplane under FAA classification, with a maximum weight of 1,320lb. But the manufacturers found it impossible to fit the safety features – airbags, crumple zones and roll cage, for instance – that are required for road vehicles into that weight.
