Slovakian Flying Car Aeromobil 3.0 Unveiled

I Came across this video of the Aeromobil 3.0 which speaks for itself.

The Aeromobil 3.0 is the flying car’s second or third version. It was recently unveiled in Vienna at the inventors show.

From the site Aeromobil :

Transforms in seconds from an automobile to an airplane. Gives you freedom to move.

AeroMobil is a flying car that perfectly makes use of existing infrastructure created for automobiles and planes, and opens doors to real door-to-door travel. As a car it fits into any standard parking space, uses regular gasoline, and can be used in road traffic just like any other car. As a plane it can use any airport in the world, but can also take off and land using any grass strip or paved surface just a few hundred meters long.

It is now finalised and has been in regular flight-testing program in real flight conditions since October 2014.

The AeroMobil 3.0 is predominantly built from advanced composite material. That includes its body shell, wings, and wheels. It also contains all the main features that are likely to be incorporated into the final product, such as avionics equipment, autopilot and an advanced parachute deployment system.

PAL-V

And then the nagging began, because I knew I have a post about a flying car here on the blog. Searching on the term flying car didn’t bring me further, but eventually I found the post Dutch Design (7): It drives and flies: PAL-V

Although the Carver car on which design the PAL-V is based doesn’t seem to be in production anymore, the PAL-V seems on the verge of being launched in 2016 after it passed its flying tests.

The Dutch company PAL-V Europe NV has successfully concluded test flights of its flying car, PAL-V (Personal Air and Land Vehicle).

During the past two weeks, several test flights were conducted at the Gilze Rijen Airport (The Netherlands). The patented vehicle flies in the air like a
gyrocopter with lift generated by an auto-rotating rotor and forward speed produced by a fold-able push propeller on the back.
On the road it drives like a sports car. No new infrastructure is required, because it uses existing roads and airstrips
