PAL V Flying Car is Successfully Concluded the Test Fly

The Dutch company, PAL-V Europe NV, has now successfully concluded their test flights for the PAL-V (Personal Air and Land Vehicle). The PAL-V-One is a two seat hybrid car and gyroplane.The 3-wheeled vehicle itself runs on gasoline but will also be available using biodiesel and bio-ethanol. On the ground, it moves swiftly with the agility of a motorcyle. It can zip through roads and highways as well as take off into the air with its single rotor and unfolded propeller. On land, it can reach speeds of 112 mph. Airborne, it flies just below 4,000 feet, the airspace available for uncontrolled Visual Flight Rules (VFR) traffic. This means that you will have no worries about being bullied by commercial air traffic.

The transformation takes place in a mere 10 minutes. With the push of a button the propeller unfolds for air or folds in to driving position. On the ground, the PAL-V-One uses a patented DVC tilting technology which automatically adjusts the tilt angle of the vehicle to its speed and acceleration, enabling a plane-like tilting concerning performance. This technology maintains the driver and vehicle in total control and balance. [Source]
