It might sound like a scene straight out of the Jetsons, but a Massachusetts company is developing a small airplane that can land, fold up its wings and drive down the highway.
[a]Terrafugia Inc., a company founded three years ago by graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of technology (MIT), is in the process of building a prototype of The Transition, a 19-foot, two-seater the company describes as a roadable light-sport aircraft. And it's focused on building something that can take to the roads as easily as it takes to the skies.
"We're not going to have a flying car, as people think of it, for a while," said Anna Dietrich, chief operating officer of the Woburn, Mass.-based company. "I would never say it's not going to happen, but today the infrastructure is not there, nor is the training, nor are the avionics that would make the training unnecessary... What makes sense right now is a roadable aircraft."
Dietrich said the idea of a such a vehicle, which has an anticipated price of US$148,000, is what fired up their imaginations and pushed them to found the company. The problem, however, is that the U.S. doesn't have the infrastructure in place to make roadable planes a viable alternative yet. There are roads, not runways, in front of houses, grocery stores and office buildings. And a sky filled with people who don't have pilot's licenses could be problematic.
1. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about [a]Terrafugia Inc.?
(A) Its founders graduated from the same university.
(B) Its headquarter is located in Woburn.
(C) It now sells The Transition for US$148,000.
(D) It is developing a roadable aircraft.
2. According to the passage, which of the following is one of the existing problems that make roadable planes impracticable?
(A) the price of The Transition
(B) the avionics
(C) traffic jam in the sky
(D) lack of infrastructure
