Terrafugia TF-2A Update

In mid-December 2019, Terrafugia, a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group (ZGH) — a global mobility technology group headquartered in the city of Hangzhou in southeast China’s Zhejiang Province — successfully conducted its first test flight of the TF-2A sub-scale demonstrator. The fullscale TF-2A eVTOL aircraft was unveiled on June 22. It has eight lift propellers and one rear pusher-prop for forward flight, and has enough wing area that it can take off and land conventionally as well as vertically. The TF-2A has a maximum takeoff weight of 2,650 lb (1,200 kg), a cruise speed of up to 112 mph (180 km/h), a maximum range of 62 miles (100 km) and capacity for two passengers and luggage, for a maximum payload weight of 441 lb (200 kg). In addition, the company began flight testing a 1,320 lb (600 kg) hover testbed on June 8. (Source: Geely WeChat)
