As technology advances, flying cars are becoming a reality. Additionally, Turkey is attempting to build its own line of flying automobiles. Aircar is one of them.
The two-seater Aircar, created by Nitra-based Klein Vision, can travel at speeds of up to 190 kph and altitudes exceeding 8,000 feet. It immediately converts from a road-going vehicle into an aircraft in around two minutes and fifteen seconds thanks to its retractable wings and huge tail.
Aircar designed for daily use
Substandard ground infrastructure and urbanization continue to be major barriers to urban transportation. In a few decades, 70% of the world’s population will reside in cities. Just in the world, transportation congestion wastes $88 billion annually. Drivers in big cities might lose up to 300 hours a year in traffic. More over half of all CO2 emissions are related to the passenger transport industry. The appeal of sustainable air travel is greater than ever.
By building an autonomous electric vehicle to bring about a paradigm shift in intra-city transportation more time for living and less time for traveling, Aircar are enabling sustainable and fast urban air mobility.
A startup from IIT Madras has unveiled flying taxi. It has created an electric flying taxi prototype. The company claiming to be able to transport passengers more quickly than a helicopter
Advantage of Aircar:
- ZERO EMMISSIONS,
- 100% electric
- Reduced CO2 footprint
- FULLY AUTONOMOUS
- Autopilot combined with sensor fusion
- 10X LOW NOISE
- ​10X quieter than helicopters
The ability to travel freely:
Use the Aircar mobile application to book your destination and take off. Instead of stumbling through gridlock, we open the sky to your service.
Model – PAL-V Liberty:
In less than five minutes, this three-wheeled Dutch flying automobile can transition from driving to flying. The PAL-V Liberty is an autogiro, meaning it lacks a propeller. Instead, it generates lift using a rotor that runs on the car’s engine. Its top speed is 160 kmph on land and 180 kmph in the air. It has a 1,300 km land range and can travel up to 500 kilometers on a single fuel tank. At a base price of $499,000, the ordinary version is available for pre-booking (including in India), and the business has already received over 1,000 pre-orders. Don’t forget to look at the many customizations available if you intend to reserve one.
This appears to be something from a science fiction film, but it’s actually a road-worthy vehicle that doubles as an aircraft. With its retractable wings and tail, this 1.6-liter BMW engine can convert it from a road vehicle to an air vehicle and back again. The Slovak Transport Authority even awarded it a Certificate of Airworthiness after it passed stringent flight testing that involved more than 200 takeoffs and landings. Although reservations are still a while off, the business has finished testing a quicker and farther-reaching car. Hopefully, the Klein Vision team will soon introduce the car.
Model – Alef Flying Car:
In actual life, any effective flying automobile must be adaptable enough to be driven on ordinary roads and take off when needed, unlike in movies where characters like James Bond and Batman can drive recklessly. In addition to doing that, the Alef flying automobile can squeeze into small parking spaces. It may be pre-ordered for as little as $150 and is expected to have a road range of 320 km and a flying range of 177 km. The US government recently approved it for testing.
Its rotating, gimballed cabin provides a safe and entertaining 180°+ view during flight. And since there are plans to build a hydrogen option in the future, this electric configuration could soon become your very own green ride in the sky.
Model – SkyDrive’s eVTOL:
The electric-powered SD-05 from Japan-based SkyDrive, which can take off and land vertically, is intended to be a futuristic personal flying vehicle that is assisted by a computer-controlled flight system. Simply enter your address in the accompanying app, and this autonomous vehicle will pick you up and transport you to your destination. Although the Toyota-backed business hopes to receive an airworthiness certificate by 2025, it is now working towards obtaining a type certification, which certifies that its performance, strength, and design meet all applicable safety and environmental standards. In the meanwhile, preorders are live.
