Bingo! I have 5 across on my "buzzword bingo" card for this pitch. What is the prize?


<b>How will Terrafugia accomplish what it promises?</b>

• Invest in engineering: Terrafugia will use the most advanced engineering design and modeling technology along with a tried-and-true <b>spiral development</b> program with multiple hardware prototypes to reveal practical issues with <b>functionality</b> and <b>robustness</b> that cannot be <b>computationally predicted</b> early in the <b>design cycle</b>. By the time it is delivered to the first customer, the Transition will be the most highly engineered Light Sport Aircraft in existence.


It will be interesting to see how well this fellow Dietrich operates an obvious aviation "Bilk the Investors" scheme. So far he's a smoothie, but he hasn't met the big boys yet. Look for him in court in the future. He has a long way to go to beat the guru, Jim Bede.

At least when the govt. pays us millions for a flying toilet, they get something for it. (FYI, Fairchild made the one for Skylab in the '70s. The design group motto for the zero g crapper was "It may be sh** to you, but it's bread and butter to us"). Investors in this flying car project will get nothing but smaller bank accounts. It wasn't a good idea the first time it was proposed. It is even less so now. I picture the soccer mom flying the cheeleaders around in a flying car (surrounded by flying monkeys perhaps?). That has got to be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.

Ninety percent of the game is half mental.
