Abstract
As the current ground transportation system becomes saturated, there is a need to develop a roadable personal air vehicle (PAV). Therefore, researches for PAV development and operation system development are being actively carried out in various countries around the world. PAV, the next generation transportation system, is a new concept of personal transportation that combines ground transportation, air traffic, and IT industry. Also, the development of PAV can solve the saturation of traffic congestion and shorten the travel time dramatically. In this study, we analyzed the certification criteria of FAR Part 23, which is going to be revised, and analyzed the patents and folding mechanism of Terrafugia Transition and Aeromobil 3.0, which are the most advanced of roadable PAV. Also, we used $OpenVSP^{(R)}$ for the reverse configuration design of the existing Terafugia transition and Aeromobile 3.0. Aerodynamic analyses were performed for the reverse configuration design using the $XFR5^{(R)}$ program.
