Terrafugia (terrafugia.com), a small Massachusetts company comprising mainly MIT grads, has been working since 2006 to develop the Transition, a street-legal airplane.

The prototype has flown successfully, and while the company works to get that design approved by the Federal Aviation Administration, it’s moving forward with the TF-X, a semiautonomous VTOL design.
