That thing is awesome and I hope it comes out perfect.

Nothing I own is rare, or more rare than five figure build quantities anyways. I ruin poo poo too fast to buy rare things :v:

What I work on 5 days a week though... one of one (so far) and one of one legally*. In fact, this is the only 2009 model that will ever exist. The next will be a 2014 or 2015, I believe we will be making a few dozen of those.



* unless you know of another vehicle with both a VIN plate and an aircraft identification plate, that is :smug:

E: I have driven it, but it wasn't certified for two pilot operation at that point so I haven't gotten to fly it.

Is that the Aptera?

It's the Terrafugia Transition. Almost all carbon fiber, Rotax 912 (ULS in the current prototype, iS for next prototype and production) @ 100hp (limited by class - as a light sport aircraft, no more than 100hp is permitted), drives like a car, flies like a plane.

PS: we are hiring - I believe current positions include vehicle mechanical engineers and CAD designers, but not entirely sure. Check the website for more info if anyone's interested in working here.
