- MIT $100K Organizers

P.S. We have a special guest: the Terrafugia Transition! 
The MIT $100K is ecstatic to welcome the Terrafugia 
Transition Roadable Aircraft! Terrafugia was founded in 2006 
by MIT-trained aeronautical engineers and MBA's - who also 
happen to be private pilots. Terrafugia's design allows 
the Transition to fold its wings and drive on any surface road. 
Once at the airport, the wings extend and the aircraft is ready 
for take-off. Terrafugia has generously agreed to bring a 
Transition Roadable Aircraft to MIT just outside of Kresge 
Auditorium before the finale. Come check it out!
