First Flying Car??
On October 17, 2013, the first flying car was off the ground for the first time! This flying car was invented by Stefan Klein, a designer from Slovak Republic. He calls it an "Aeromobil". The Aeromobil Version 2.5 is a flying car protoftype which was being developed for the last 20 years.
The Aeromobile has folding wings and a propeller in the tail. It also runs on regular car gasoline. It is driven like a normal car despite the looks.
This flying car isn't the only flying car around. There is one in the US-based Terrafugia, which also has fold up wings. It wings folds up vertically. There is also a Dutch flying car designed called PAL-V. The ground vehicle is three wheeled tilting motorcycle that turns into a gyrocopter.
For this version, the wings are folded back with small back wheels to support the tails. The engine is in the front with a two-person seat. There seems to be two wheels. The large wheel for driving on the ground and the small wheel for flying.

ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea , I can’t count how many times sitting in traffic watching the planes fly over head that I wish I could just turn my car into a plane and fly out of the traffic into the sky, I don’t think I would want to fly in one of these for a couple years, I would want to wait until they get all the bugs out.
