Aeromobil Flying Car Takes to the Skies

I posted recently about the "Flying Car" and told you it was getting underway soon. At last, the Flying Car has gone live at the Pioneers Festival in Vienna, Austria. Read more to see video of the earlier test run. We will bring you the latest test run as soon as we have its footage.

Slovakian startup Aeromobil, unveiled the latest version of its flying car and demonstrated the vehicle in full flight. Before now, the vehicle only reached a few feet in the air That certainly isn’t the case this time around. See Aeromobil's Initial Test Flight Here

Aeromobil says its flying car is still in the prototype stage but that the latest version, 3.0, is very close to the final production version. For example, it’s built from the same materials that will be used for production, such as advanced composite materials for the body shell, wings, and wheels. It also contains all the most advanced features that will be incorporated into the production version, such as avionics equipment, autopilot and a special parachute deployment system for emergencies. And the suspension has also been upgraded so that take-off and landing even on relatively rough terrain is possible.

Aeromobil‘s flying car is now being put through a rigorous flight-testing program after which final specifications can be confirmed.

So you see…flying from Victoria Island to Ikeja might just be a possibility, especially for those who won’t mind seeing the traffic build up ahead and taking to the sky to avoid it.
