A Dutch company has a working prototype of an actual road/air vehicle. The Dutch company PAL-V has successfully concluded test flights of its flying trike, PAL-V (Personal Air and Land Vehicle). Robert Dingemanse, CEO and co-founder of PAL-V commented: “We are very proud to announce this successful maiden flight of the PAL-V and we now invite investors to create the future with us. We know there is a lot of interest for the PAL-V. Prior to announcing these test flights, we were already approached on a daily basis by potential customers and dealers wanting to be part of this exciting project.”
Are you reaching for your wallet, yet? No? But it’s a trike-o-copter! Still, no? There’s more; according to PAL-V, on the road it drives like a sports car, “The aerodynamic, 3-wheeled vehicle combines the comfort of a car with the agility of a motorcycle thanks to its patented, cutting-edge, “tilting” system.”
PAL-V also informs us that flying, a PAL-V is like a standard gyrocopter (Thank goodness, right? I mean who knows how to fly a non-standard gyrocopter).
Anyhow, it would be quite amazing to fly into the great riding areas and avoid the superslabs completely. Now we just need a few millionaires to step up and finance this flying trike-o-copter. Volunteers?
