Terrafugia, la empresa de desarrollo aeron\u00e1utico adquirida por Geely, ha presentado un prototipo de su avi\u00f3n de despegue vertical totalmente el\u00e9ctrico TF-2A y afirma que ya han realizado vuelos de prueba. Terrafugia tambi\u00e9n ha facilitado ahora los primeros datos t\u00e9cnicos clave sobre el avi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
Las fotos del TF-2A publicadas ahora por Geely en un sitio web chino muestran un aspecto m\u00e1s refinado en comparaci\u00f3n con el estudio que despeg\u00f3 por primera vez en diciembre de 2019. Tanto el estudio anterior como el actual son m\u00e1quinas relativamente peque\u00f1as. Seg\u00fan Geely, en poco tiempo llegar\u00e1 un prototipo a escala real.<\/p>\n
Los fabricantes de aviones implicados afirman que basaron su dise\u00f1o en el aspecto de un tibur\u00f3n tigre. El eVTOL se caracteriza por una gran ala superior, una cola en forma de H y una h\u00e9lice trasera para el vuelo horizontal, as\u00ed como ocho h\u00e9lices elevadoras para el despegue y aterrizaje vertical. Geely espera que este dise\u00f1o haga que la certificaci\u00f3n sea m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil de obtener que los productos de la competencia con rotores m\u00faltiples o rotores basculantes. Seg\u00fan el fabricante, el TF-2A tendr\u00e1 un peso m\u00e1ximo al despegue de 1.200 kg y una carga \u00fatil de hasta 200 kg. Esta \u00faltima es suficiente para dos pasajeros m\u00e1s equipaje. Geely especifica la velocidad m\u00e1xima de crucero en 180 km\/h, la autonom\u00eda en 100 kil\u00f3metros y la altitud m\u00e1xima de vuelo en 3.000 metros. Por razones de seguridad, el VTOL est\u00e1 equipado con un tren de aterrizaje de reserva en caso de aterrizaje de emergencia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The aircraft is designed as an air taxi for urban areas, i.e. for air traffic within cities or between neighbouring communities. In addition to the TF-2A, Terrafugia has developed another model called Transition<\/a>. This is a two-seater with hybrid drive, which has been designed for both road and air travel using foldable wings and, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, can be changed from driving to its flying mode in less than a minute.<\/p>\n The US company Terrafugia has been part of the Geely Group since 2017. The urban aircraft specialist was founded in 2006 by graduates of MIT. Following the acquisition of the company, the Chinese group has established a research and development team in China that focuses on urban air mobility.<\/p>\n Other air taxis are also moving ahead in a much-anticipated urban air-taxi market. Although it remains to be seen how affordable air-taxis will be and how many of them will be usable in dense urban landscapes, several companies are edging forward with the development of such aircraft. In February this year<\/a>, Wisk has received approval to test eVTOL flights with passengers in New Zealand. At the same time, Geely is well-positioned early on after having taken over Terrafugia back in 2017 and recently acquired shares in Volocopter<\/a>.<\/p>\n autonews.gasgoo.com<\/a>, evtol.com<\/a>, mp.weixin.qq.com<\/a> (in Chinese)<\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135041","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135041"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135041\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135041"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135041"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135041"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
