Last year the Federal Aviation Administration agreed to let it weigh more than other light sport aircraft. But even fully loaded, says Mr. Dietrich, it still weighs about half as much as an average car.
Transition必须同时满足联邦的汽车和飞行器安全标准。去年，美国联邦航空管理局允许其重量超过其它轻型运动飞机。但迪特里希表示，Transition即使满载，它的重量仍然只有普通汽车的一半左右。
