Wouldn't
you rather fly in a car than face the morning traffic jam on the 3rd Mainland
Bridge or the Lagos-Ikorodu Expressway? Well, we might just be inching close to
being able to get to work in a flying car…interesting what technology is
bringing about these days eh!
The
Slovakian makers of the pioneering Aeromobil announce that their two-seater
flying car will go on the market within two years.
What’s
more, a self-driving/self-flying model could potentially follow not far behind.
The
length of a luxury saloon car, the AeroMobil 3.0 has been designed to drive on
normal roads, park in regular spaces, and refuel at petrol stations.
In
plane mode, it requires a 250-metre grass strip for take-off and just 50 metres
for landings. The car can travel at speeds in excess of 100mph and it’s capable
of around 124 mph in the air.
AeroMobil’s
founders Stefan Klein and Juraj Vaculik hope the AeroMobil 3.0 will free us
from ‘traffic jam prison’.
