TF-X - Cloud 9

grabcad

This is my third and final entry for the GrabCAD challenge here: https://grabcad.com/challenges/terrafugia-tf-x-industrial-design-challenge My design is simple & attractive and based from the naturally aerodynamic form of a water droplet, or teardrop shape. It can adequately hold 4 passengers, fits in a garage, has a ducted rear fan, two mounted pivoting motor pods, and an inboard/outboard folding high wing; the plane's wingspan when fully extended is roughly 38 feet. The motor pods & folding wing are independent of each other, and mounted on separate wings; a unique feature. I also created an animation demonstrating the transitioning from car, to helicopter, to airplane, and back again. The quick animation represents this transforming of the vehicle. Solidworks, STEP, and IGES files are included! Thanks for viewing my design :)
