Unmanned models of the TF-X will test hover ability.
Terrafugia is still tweaking the design of its TF-X, an electric, semi-autonomous, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) flying car, which is slated to be tested in 2016 and 2017.
This week, the company announced that it will soon begin flight testing with an unmanned, one-tenth scale model of the TF-X in order to gauge its hovering ability and collect flight characteristic data, which will drive the design choices on the final prototype.
