Terrafugia has petitioned the FAA to grant waivers to allow its Transition roadable aircraft to exceed weight limits and stall speed requirements for an LSA.
The petition asks the FAA to allow the Transition to have a gross takeoff weight of 1,800 pounds, and a correspondingly higher stall speed of 54 knots. Boeing employees helped the company set a record for the most commercial airplanes delivered in a single year at 723 in 2014, breaking the company record for a second consecutive year. The company's sales team also booked 1,432 net orders, carrying a value of $232.7 billion at list prices, breaking the previous all-time high set in 2007. The Academy of Model Aeronautics sent letters to the New York City Council opposing proposed legislation to restrict unmanned aerial vehicle flights in New York City. At least one of the bills would completely ground the educational hobby of flying model aircraft within the city. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
