00:05
aero mobile
00:08
the aero mobile is a fascinating vehicle
00:10
for several reasons
00:12
first off it's a real flying car yes
00:15
it can actually fly in real life
00:19
in an amazing feat of engineering the
00:21
designers of the aero mobile have
00:23
managed to combine this functionality
00:25
with a sleek and eerie beauty that makes
00:28
this vehicle a true work of art
00:33
you can make use of the aero mobile for
00:35
its aerial capabilities
00:36
or its more mundane road traveling
00:38
capabilities
00:40
but rest assured that whatever mode you
00:42
pick it'll take you to your destination
00:44
with the style
00:45
elegance and efficiency that you've
00:47
always dreamed of but never knew you
00:49
could achieve
00:55
it's been reported to transform into
00:57
flight mode in just under three minutes
00:59
gaining the ability to travel as fast as
01:01
223 miles per hour
01:03
and cover 466 miles
01:06
it's no slouch when it's in car mode
01:08
either with a breathtaking top speed of
01:10
100 miles an hour
01:12
[Music]
01:17
the aeromobil is faster than most
01:18
traditional flights and is less
01:20
stressful and time consuming than
01:22
traveling through a traditional airline
01:24
or
01:24
ordering for a helicopter
01:26
[Music]
01:30
of course you'll need a pilot license to
01:32
operate this vehicle in europe where
01:33
it's certified to run and fly
01:35
as well as access to a runway if you're
01:38
in the united states then the aeromobil
01:40
may not yet be available to use but work
01:43
is underway to ensure its release as
01:45
soon as possible
01:54
pal v liberty
01:58
the personal air and land vehicle is an
02:00
aircraft manufacturer based in
02:02
netherlands
02:04
the company has been in business for
02:05
more than 20 years with the dream of
02:07
building an actual flying car from the
02:09
get-go
02:11
after years of research and development
02:13
it launched its first flying car
02:15
known as pal-v liberty the vehicle comes
02:18
with a 200 horsepower engine connected
02:20
to the rear-facing propeller
02:22
auto-rotating retractable main rotor to
02:24
bring it off the ground
02:26
and gyrocopter flight system
02:27
[Music]
02:30
unlike a conventional car however it
02:32
only has three wheels
02:34
one in the front and two in the rear
02:37
the manufacturer says pow v liberty is
02:40
able to reach a top speed of 112 miles
02:42
per hour both on the ground
02:44
and in the air
02:47
in flight mode fuel consumption is 6.8
02:50
gallons per hour
02:51
with 311 miles flying range while on the
02:54
ground
02:54
fuel efficiency is 31 miles per gallon
02:57
with a cruising range of 817 miles
03:06
there are several versions of the pal v
03:08
available for purchase
03:10
including the liberty sport for 399 000
03:13
and the liberty pioneer for 599 thousand
03:17
dollars
03:24
klein vision air car
03:28
in late october 2020 klein vision
03:31
released a video of its air car taking a
03:33
maiden flight
03:36
similar to aeromobile the vehicle is a
03:38
four-wheel car with only two seats
03:40
and it does actually fly like an
03:42
aircraft there is no
03:44
instant vertical lift air car needs a
03:48
runway for takeoff and landing
03:50
before engaging in flight mode air
03:52
carr's tail extends backward a few feet
03:54
to make room for the wide wings to do
03:56
their up and over motion in order to
03:58
fold out
04:00
in car mode the tail pulls back in to
04:03
make the vehicle
04:03
much more compact and easier to drive
04:06
it's powered by a 1.6 liter six-cylinder
04:09
engine manufactured by bmw
04:11
and weighs 2400 pounds
04:15
[Music]
04:18
at this stage Klein vision air car is
04:20
still a working prototype
04:22
but at least it does exist
04:26
the company claims that it'll have a
04:28
flying range of over 600 miles
04:30
and be able to reach a top speed of 124
04:33
miles per hour in the air
04:36
[Music]
04:41
airbus pop-up
04:44
the search for a truly reliable and
04:46
futuristic flying car
04:48
has been going on for decades one of the
04:50
The latest ideas are the pop-up next made by
04:53
a joint venture of
04:54
airbus Audi and ital design
04:58
[Music]
05:00
the vehicle would be autonomous and the
05:02
the plan is pretty simple too
05:04
passengers will book their trip on a
05:06
pop-up via an
05:07
app pop-up then automatically suggests
05:10
the most efficient route in accordance
05:12
with passenger-specific preferences
05:15
configured on the app as well first
05:17
option would be
05:18
transportation by road but when it gets
05:20
congested
05:21
a pop-up will detach the passenger capsule
05:24
from its ground module
05:25
so the air module can fly it to the
05:27
destination
05:28
[Music]
05:35
the concept is to develop a modular
05:38
ground and air passenger vehicle
05:40
with three major components passenger
05:42
the capsule made of carbon fiber
05:44
electrically powered ground module air
05:47
module
05:47
powered by a rotor propulsion system
05:53
technically speaking the pop-up is
05:55
already very close to a form of new
05:57
transportation
05:58
which can be produced right now
06:06
terrafugia transition
06:11
on display at the new york international
06:13
auto show in April 2012
06:15
the terra Fujita transition brought
06:17
tangible evidence to the world
06:19
that the concept of flying cars was not
06:21
at all imaginary
06:25
now that it's a fully working model
06:27
instead of just a prototype
06:29
you can actually buy it for an estimated
06:31
price of four hundred thousand dollars
06:35
[Music]
06:38
the transition has four wheels two doors
06:41
folding wings behind them
06:42
and a rear-mounted propeller
06:48
powered by a hybrid engine the
06:50
transition can fly 100 miles per hour
06:53
at an altitude of 9000 feet, there are
06:56
separate controls for driving
06:57
and flying as well
07:03
according to the company, it can
07:05
transform from driving to the flying mode in
07:07
just under a minute
07:16
maverick flying car
07:19
developed by indigenous people's
07:21
technology and education center
07:23
the maverick flying car is never
07:25
intended as a vehicle for the general
07:26
population
07:27
but a vehicle to help reach those in
07:29
remote locations
07:31
where transportation is a real challenge
07:34
[Music]
07:37
maverick is a faa certified flying car
07:40
so it's actually road legal
07:42
the vehicle is powered by a
07:44
fuel-injected 2.5 liter Subaru engine
07:47
that generates 190 horsepower
07:51
airborne speed is 40 miles per hour
07:54
although maverick needs about 300 feet
07:56
of runway before takeoff
07:59
[Music]
08:03
unlike other futuristic flying cars
08:05
still in concept
08:06
the maverick does not have wings but a
08:08
central telescopic mast for its shoot
08:11
the ram air wing it'll take flight when
08:13
the power that goes into the rear wheels
08:16
is diverted into a five-blade propeller
08:18
mounted to the rear of the vehicle
08:20
thankfully you can do that with the flip
08:22
of a switch
08:26
[Music]
08:34
Terrafugia tfx
08:37
another one from Terrafugia and this
08:39
time the company describes it as
08:41
the flying car for all of us which
08:44
perhaps is accurate to assume everyone
08:46
has a pilot license or can afford a
08:48
flying car
08:49
[Music]
08:52
known as tax Terrafugia has fitted it
08:54
with a hybrid powertrain to propel the
08:56
wheels on the ground and two electric
08:58
rotors for flying
09:01
the vehicle does its takeoff vertically
09:03
instead of requiring
09:04
high-speed run before airborne
09:10
maximum speed is around 200 miles per
09:12
the hour and once airborne
09:14
tax can reach 500 miles of range
09:17
which means the four seats flying car
09:19
can take you from Geneva to London
09:21
in just about three hours
09:26
unfortunately,, it remains unclear whether
09:28
terra fuji will bring the concept to
09:30
further steps of development
09:32
so at this point,, the tfx is not yet
09:34
ready for sale
09:36
