First Ever Flying Car!

The World's First Bio-fuelled Flying Car

For many, a flying car is but a dream. For the Skycar Expedition Team it is now a reality, paving the way for this to become a common sight in our skies. Whether you are searching for environmentally friendly practical transport or new thrills the Parajet Skycar is no longer a dream….... a machine that can drive like a car and fly like an aeroplane, capable of beating congestion for the commuter or providing a low cost method of reaching remote regions only accessible by helicopter.
We are currently building the world’s first flying Parajet Skycar and after rigorous testing will travel from London across the Sahara to Tombouctou for the maiden voyage in Spring 2009. It will be the first high performance, road legal, carbon neutral flying car capable of providing sports and rally car performance on or off the road and light aircraft performance after just a few minutes of wing preparation.
The Parajet Skycar in "fly mode" will be suspended by the latest ram-air wing and capable of take-off from a field or airstrip in less than 200 metres. It will be easier and safer to fly than any other aircraft, as it has no pitch control and therefore impossible to stall or dive. Should the engine fail, the pilot would simply glide down into the nearest field or strip of sandy desert. In the event of catastrophic wing failure, car connection system failure or mid-air collision, an emergency ballistic reserve parachute can be deployed. Performance and Safety
After safety checks and just three minutes of wing preparation the car can take-off from a field or airstrip in less than 200 metres.

The Parajet Skycar is easier and safer to fly than any other aircraft, as it has no pitch control and therefore impossible to stall or dive. In the unlikely event of engine problems, the car would simply glide down to the nearest field or strip of sandy desert. In the event of a catastrophic wing failure, a ballistic reserve parachute would be deployed to bring the car and pilot down to earth.
In “fly mode” the car will have:
a take-off speed of 60 kmph

• a top speed of 110 kmph
• a range of 300 km.
• a cruising altitude of 2000 – 3000 ft
• a maximum altitude of 15,000 ft.

In "road mode" the car will have:

• independent 4 wheel suspension
• rear wheel drive acceleration from 0-100 kmph in 4.5 seconds
• a top speed of 180 kmph a range of 400 km.
