Here are some of the features of this masterpiece:
- The vehicle has three wheels, and rotors on the roof and the tail.
- It also has two Rotax engines (one for driving and one for flying).
- On the road, it can travel at up to 100mph, and in the air, the car can travel at 112mph and up to 4,000ft. While in the air, its mileage drops considerably – one will have to refuel every 310 miles.
- For shifting the car from drive to fly mode or vice versa, it will require about 5-10 minutes.
- Noise generated while in flight will be “much less” than a helicopter.
