On land, driving the Transition requires nothing more than a conventional steering wheel and gas and brake pedals. In the air, however, outboard rudder pedals, a fold-up joystick and a console-mounted throttle take their place. Power from an Austrian-sourced, four-cylinder, 1.2-liter engine goes through the driveshaft to a gearbox that either routes the power straight back to the propeller or off to a side-mounted, continuously variable transmission.
