Flying car designed in SolidWorks 3D CAD software

A very interesting engineering solution has traveled around the world these days and moved the classical realization of automobiles into the domain of science fiction. A fantastic idea by Samuel Schweighart, the co-owner of Terrafugia, has blended a common passenger car and an airplane into a single mean of transportation - a flying car.

The bulk of the engineering work was performed in SolidWorks, a 3-D CAD design program. The software was used to make components fit correctly in the vehicle, to ensure enough room for range clearances, and analyze metal parts for strength.

- Essentially we built the plane in SolidWorks before building it in real life - Schweighart says.

With its powerful functions and tools, SolidWorks has made it possible for an automobile to be turned into an airplane ready to fly after only one year of engineering, Solfins announced.
