The flying object!

All good day!

Flying machine - a real fetish of many futurists and motorists: what could be better than the whirl up into the sky on a winged horse? Inventors are constantly creating and improving more and more new models flying cars, but only a few are really worthy of the flight. In this review - the best models and concepts of modern flying vehicles.

Moller Skycar М400.

This "car", which resembles a cross between a racing car with a spaceship looks like it could really soar. His aerial ability is based on traction screws, and "feed" the winged horse need alcohol or kerosene. 1200 km at a speed of over 550 kilometers per hour at fuel consumption 10 liters per 100 kilometers - that's what the creators promise. Minus this project one: it seems to be a big sell, calculated to deceive investors, and recent tests of the flying car passed in 2003.

Ground plane.

Terrafugia Transition is not too much like a car - it was too broad and powerfully spread her wings. In the air, the speed of the birds will be more than 185 kilometers per hour, and on the highway - 105 km / h. Switch to airplane mode and back takes about half a minute. What is particularly nice, running models in production is due to start this year, and this machine will cost about 200 000 dollars.

Flying buggy.

Easy car Parajet SkyCar design, coupled with a solid propeller, allows him to soar into the sky. It is only necessary to release the parachute. These extreme athletes can experiment with the ups directly from the road. However, as urban transport parachute flying buggy, of course, no good: it is problematic not only rise, but the landing.

Car-glider.

Maverick Sport - another excellent example of a flying car with a parachute. From previous participant of our review it is different design, which will be enjoyed by lovers of old automobile. And the comfort and safety it higher than Parajet SkyCar.

Pal-V: motorcycle and helicopter.

This concept differs from previous smaller number of wheels, but structurally very similar to it: a lightweight body and mechanisms, and the availability of a helicopter rotor blade. It is assumed that the motorcycle can fly at a speed of 185 km / h, but its fuel consumption - the secret behind seven seals.

And a couple of photos of samples.

In this line of flying cars does not end ....
