An electro-mechanical system inside the two-person cockpit is used to deploy the self-locking wings into place, transforming a street-legal car into a Light Sport aircraft in 30 seconds. All you need is 1700 feet of runway and the 100 hp, four-cylinder engine will do the rest, letting the three-bladed propeller boost you to a maximum airspeed of 115 mph. That same engine, along with the continuously variable transmission, rear-wheel drive lets you cruise the roads at a comfortable 65 mph.
Details:
- Built to fly within VFR conditions
- 23-gallon gas tank provides a 425 nautical mile range (35 mpg on the road)
- Car mode 6′ 8″ H x 7′ 6″ W x 19′ 6″ L
- Aircraft mode 6′ 6″ H x 26′ 6″ W x 19′ 9″ L
- Empty weight 970 lbs.
- Requires a Sport Pilot Certificate.
- Special conditions and guarantee limitations apply
The price tag isn’t exactly light as air, but what do you expect from a vehicle that makes you both Skymaster and Roadking? The Flying Car is available for $350,000 from Hammacher Schlemmer.
