Terrafugia TF-X

Similar to the Terrafugia Concept, my design features an over head wing. The traditional aft tailplane is swept back to reduce the perceived length of the craft whilst providing maximum stability. The rear passengers enter and exit through suicide doors whilst the front occupants have gull wing doors. The rear ducted propulsion fan is retracted similar to sailplanes to reduce drag whilst in land mode. The outer engine pods rotate around the spar of the wing providing short takeoff and landing capability. Ground roll is on 4 narrow tires with aerodynamic fairings where possible. The exterior is fairly minimalist for both aesthetics and streamlining.
