Flying car 2016

When you have to take the car to an aerodrome to take off and arrive, why not just leave your airplane at the aerodrome and go to it? It would be a more convenient option to stay in an "Airpark" municipality where you can drop off a small airplane in a hanger connected to your home, roll to a landing strip in the Airpark and take off to soar.

You' d just take your car home and drag the airplane out of the hanger to fly. Yeah, there really are flying automobiles! Between 2022 and 2025" the first commercialised civil hovercraft will appear, according to François Chopard (Startburst Aerospace), Alexander Zosel (Volocopter) and Mathias Thomsen (Airbus), three specialists who have been summoned to the Lisbon Web Summit 2017.

Nevertheless, there are already conceptual vehicles! He works with petrol and can run for four or 1315 km with a top of 180 km per hour. But it needs a 300 metre take-off and a 30 metre airstrip. This is an automated pod that works with two electrical engines that can take two people and run 130 km at a top of 100 mph.

Developed by the Germans start-up, the 2X is one of the rarest flying machines tested in a realistic environment in the Dubai area. Good point: He can take off and landing upright. If you are not an optimist man, would you and I at the beginning of 1900 believe that a finely adjusted car would reach the 100 km/h in 6 seconds?

Later in the year, continued strong consumer demands for flying automobiles and the tremendous development of flight component technologies could revolutionise the aerospace world. The probably only example I can think of today that you can buy and ride is Steve Saint's Maverick. Initially developed with the aim of allowing mission and human egress to places without streets and airfields, it is a rather powerful on- and offroad car (0-60 in 3. 9!) with a pole and a motorized chute that can be used in about 20-minute.

You will need $94,000, a recent driver's licence and either an LSA or personal pilot's licence and a skydiving evaluation. It' important to consider what you are defining as a flying car. When you think of a car that can be run on the street and then take off from a restricted take-off and landing strip, there are cars in the design and R&D/test stages.
