Original title: the world's first flying car unveiled in Miami, 200 miles per hour, sold for nearly $600000
According to US media reports on December 3, the world's first 'flying car' that can both drive on the road and fly in the air was unveiled at the exhibition in Miami, Florida. The 'flying car' uses gasoline and can drive up to 100 miles per hour on the road, fly up to 200 miles per hour, and fly at an altitude of 12500 feet. It costs $599000.
The pioneer personal air landing vehicle, developed by pal-v in the Netherlands, has entered mass production with an order price of $599000 and is expected to be officially launched in 2021, AP reported.
The pioneer personal land and air vehicle was developed by pal-v, the Netherlands. This flying car can be used for two people.
The driver of pal-v flying car must have both driver's license and flight qualification certificate.
The flying car, which can be used for two people, has a power of 230hp and is equipped with a four cylinder engine. The body, made of carbon fiber and titanium aluminum alloy, weighs 1500 pounds and requires a 540 foot takeoff runway and a 100 foot landing runway. The car can change from a tricycle to a rotorcraft in 10 minutes and accelerate from standstill to 60 mph in eight seconds.
The car can fill up to 27 gallons of gas, enough to fly 248 to 310 miles and fly up to 11500 feet. Up to 750 miles on the road.
The driver of pal-v flying car must have both driver's license and flight qualification certificate.
Robert dingemanse, CEO of pal-v, said that after four years of hard work, the R & D team overcame the technical and quality challenges and produced flying cars that met existing safety standards and universal driving standards.
In contrast, dingermans said that the flying cars currently being developed by competitors are still in the concept stage.
Pal-v is not a helicopter, but a rotorcraft. The propeller is driven by airflow.
Dingermans said the pal-v was not a helicopter, but a rotorcraft. The propeller of a helicopter needs to be driven by a power plant, while the propeller of a rotorcraft is driven by air flow, so it is more like a parachute. It is learned that even if the car's two engines fail, the pal-v propeller can still turn.
It is reported that the pal-v flight vehicle must undergo at least 150 hours of flight test after leaving the factory, and pass the strict test before it can obtain the qualification certificate issued by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
