 Terrafugia

In the spirit of GA and innovation at KGVE we are highlighting this manufacturer on our page. It is another version of the car with wings. It is currently an experimental wanna be LSA.This link shows it actually flying. Look for it at Sun-N-Fun and Oshkosh because it will probably steal the show!
