BioFuel Powered Flying Car by 2009?

November 10th, 2008 | 4 Comments | Posted in Design, Science

Everybody dreams of taking a ride in a flying car. No exceptions. Looks like our prayers may just well be answered. Designer Giles Cardozo is the brainchild behind…well…a flying car. The vehicle is estimated to hit the market as early as 2009 ! The car called ‘Parajet Skycar’, has a range of 110 miles and is fueled by bioethanol.

“The flying car relies on the most modern advances in flexible wing technology which enable lifting the kind of weight a vehicle implies.” The vehicle is powered by 140bhp Yamaha R1 superbike engine with a lightweight automatic CVT (continuously variable transmission) gear-box. Skycar has successfully passed every harsh road tests. As for the real air test…”The flight across the English Channel will be the first airborne challenge for pilot and designer Cardozo”. Good luck Cardozo !
