- In this video, we are going to explore Flying Cars and Flying Super cars. The AeroMobil has already been developed and tested while others are being developed.
The car that will be explored are:
AeroMobil 4
Firenze Lanciare
Bellwether Volar
Leo Coupe
HT Aero -Gen 6 - Věda a technologie
For the record, I believe the better and safest Flying Cars will be those vehicles which incorporate the most emergency power/anti-power failure redundancies built into their design. Safety first: aesthetics after. Unsafe flying can be more fatal, than unsafe driving.
This is easily one of the best CZcams channels. I love hearing about the latest developments with some real engineering analysis that cuts straight through the marketing hype
I don't see highway driving as being all that necessary if the surrounding infrastructure is adapted to VTOL flight. The whole point of point to point trips is to avoid high speed ground travel. A VTOL really should only need to be capable of slow speed taxi away from the landing zone, or maybe short trips at mid-speed (60kph say), which is suitable for ultralight vehicles optimized for flight.
Viable VTOLS will probably have more duck-like capabilities than a magical horse / bird combo due to the tradeoffs involved. With enough power, a brick can fly, so it all depends on power density and energy density in the end. Fun times. It reminds me of the early days of IT.
There is already a working flying car - Pal-V. It has three wheels and flies like a gyrocopter.
The ancient would always wonder why we got to do with those big ones before the small ones to fly...
MASHAALLAH khub valo video......
I love the areocar the guy who developed it is a genius and it will sadly always be a gimmick. It will always be a compromise between a plane and car and not a great version of either but I really hope I am wrong. The two electric sports cars are at best toys till some giant leap in battery power. The jet car I'll believe when I see it and the Chinese helicopter car I want to know what happens if one engine fails my guess is you auger into the ground like madly spinning lawn dart.
в видео в конце было указано что все эти модели оснащены парашютами
@@viacheslavstukalenko9660 for most of the aircraft/cars shown the ballistic parachute sounds great as long as your around 300 - 400m off the ground but the Chinese Twin rotor car if it suffers a single rotor failure that's a lot of asymmetrical thrust and if your flipping around you can't use a ballistic parachute without fouling iy
Interesting video. It seems to me that a 'flying car' with all three characteristics - drivable, flyable, *and* VTOL, may just be beyond the state of the art. Pick either drivability or VTOL. If you give up on VTOL, then you can have a practical, roadable aircraft like the PAL-V or the AeroMobil. If you give up on it being drivable, then you can have a practical replacement for a helicopter, like the upcoming EVTOL aircraft.
Totally agree. This idea of shoe 📯 Ng in all that functionality is very silly.
Yes, it is possible and should have been included on the list. The Sky Chaser roadable VTOL tiltrotor REAL flying car should also be included in this list. Sky Chaser is the 1st of its kind, a real roadable Blade Runner style flying car with 4 large wheels for road use, no unfolding wings, and no exposed prop rotors. It looks and drives like a super car, and flies both vertically like a drone and horizontally like a plane. In addition it is amphibian. It will be both manual and fully autonomous, and will be powered by a hydrogen fuel cell giving it hours of range. The 1st version will be a single seater, followed by a 2 seater with tandem seating like a jet fighter. The Sky Chaser project started in San Diego, Calif in 2016 with 1/6 scale development and moved to Fjugesta Sweden in 2020, where the 1st full scale prototype was built and tested. The project will soon move to the UAE for commercial development and production. See the company website for more information:

Awesome video and out of them all I hope to see further development of the Volar. At least some similar variations.
BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 IS REAL!!!!
Your videos are always very informative. I had never heard of several of these. I’d be interested in seeing a video and your thoughts on the Airspeeder and their race series.
Woow😎👍🏻👍🏻
I don't see any of the designs presented in the video as being affordable or practical.
Lost for words. I I have just gotten my mind blown. Brilliant, Amazing, Heart Stopping, and Breath taking. I wish I could see this myself in real life. Congratulations 🎉 This is omg they did it.
Make an engineering vedio on bellwether volar please i dont think they can make full scale with 4 edf? Please make the vedio of engineering design
great video love the accent, nice work bro, I have been watching all your videos,. appreciate the work, well done sir!
I really like your videos. They give a nice overview over a very small but interesting market. Unfortunaetly most of these concepts remain concepts.
True that
can you please do a vid explaining disc loading and how it effects performance?
how dose it effect efficiency, maneuverability, acceleration, ect
The AEROMOBILE is probably the best candidate for nearterm usage..and it looks good too....I want one!!!
Another great video! I would love to see a run down of alternative energy storage for electric aviation; Batteries and hydrogen fuel cells are the obvious, but there seems to be others emerging such as green ammonia powered fuel cells suggested for flight. How will long and short haul flights be powered in the future? Would love a video from you on the topic! You make great reseach and explaining :-)
Great suggestion!
Methanol has more potential than ammonia.
3:25 & 5:45 are VToL styles, that could be feasable in metropolitan enviromemt, if was a 2 stage craft, where attaches to a ground vehicle body frame, it could automatically be versital as a road, air & even water, using part of the body as land port and alternative transportation stages. In the beginning of this video, those crafts are RToL, as *runway* lift required, although the wings could be handy during long cruise travel, if only they were able to VToL first, without necessarily a runway. Also, you forgot to mention the CityHawk model, which is already beyond CGI test.
Yessssss!!!! 🥇🥇
last one in the video seems to be the most realistic.
How much extra efficiency does the "fountain affect" actually give? 10%?
Jetoptera is the number one concept
Well... technically I don't want one. Toys for the super-rich to fly prescribed routes to and from private islands... but it is hard to see how a helicopter or a point-to-point EVTOLL electric taxi wouldn't be superior.
For a helicopter Style rotors those can be shrimp down to a four-blade turboprop setup reducing the distance and space in which they would require to spin which can also be set up to two props separate for folding can also reduce the distance of reach for the props reducing the full radius of the car
I like to have one on 2028, excellent video, Godspeed!
🌹 GOOD FAIR
Not new under the sun - at the beginning of the 30s/50s there were already inventions like the flying car.
The FAA can't be thrilled about These... For Sooooooo many reasons I don't know where to begin... 'Nuff said!!!... Interesting video though thanks for posting...
Bellweather Volar is sexy and sporty ! This with new generation of batterys will make it.
No I do love the Space Age jet design are quite practical very futuristic in terms of spaceships as for power consumption a simple gas motor will generator such as a DC generator with a neodymium core to produce enough power to power all the electrics in terms of a small motor would be more manageable as well as lighter than batteries possibly
The Last one, HT AERO Where do they put those extending arms and propellers that seem to magically appear from the inside? the dimensions don't add up..
Firenze Lanclari.. Yeah 300 gallon tank,, thats 2.251 Pounds of fuel Over 1.2 metric Tonnes requiring a tank of 48.16 Cubic feet capacity Where is this being located? Dream time.. and vapourware certainly wishful thinking..
We need improved power sources and alternative lift technologies before these become a useable reality. Nice video though as usual
Jetoptera is going to win even though you did not showcase it here. It has no external blades and runs much quieter. Sure, it is not electric, but it is the most viable for blade safety and noise pollution.
You forget to mention Xpeng and Ehang, chinese quadcopter cars is as close to flying cars we have now.
I don’t think the Bellweather will ever be available for public sale. And that’s a shame
We don't need 250 mph -- the average driver would not have the reflexes to handle such a craft safely.
What happened to the Jetoptera ?
I can only guess he did not showcase them because they don't use road surfaces. I wonder, though, if Jetoptera isn't considering having axeled wheels on some/most models after they start bringing in revenue.
正直にいえば、でっかい翼が生えていたり、外からプロペラが沢山見えたりするのは空飛ぶ車じゃない。翼が長いと公道に着陸できないし、プロペラがみえていたんじゃ小さなヘリコプターってだけ。飛んでるときも車っぽくないと。通常の車両感覚を逸脱しない空飛ぶ車であってほしいし、動力のトラブル時にも緊急でパラシュートが開く安全な車であって欲しい。
I dont think my neighbour will be pleased about my take offs and landings! They'll expect me to clean up the mess I make.
The Leo looks the most viable design.
I thought I would see the Black Fly.
I used to like the idea of a flying car in middle school and high school but I don’t like that idea anymore I rather have a driving airplane or just a vertical takeoff airplane without wheels
By “flying car” we don’t mean “FLYING car” like a plane flies. We mean hovering car. At least that’s what I mean.
HT Aero -Gen 6 is more practical for modern day usage
Если бы можно было, давно бы летали))). Нельзя по заказу закона Бернулли. Ну ребята это красивые квадрокоптеры. А тарелку почему не сделали.
hahahaha Ferenci must be Italian for fiction.
I really like the Chinese car!
I’m thinking the energy source is the key
Needs to fix the energy density problem.
Not one word about the swich blade that's the ticket if only they get their stuff to gather.
The Aeromobile. Due to the fact that both Front-Wheel-Drive and hydraulic usually fail after a certain mount of time regardless as how they are cared for. It would be nice to see upgrades in the design of the drivetrain and Manual access manipulation added to this vehicle.
Firenze Lanciare. Too many moving parts with hydraulics to be interested in it. However, turbine cars have been made before successfully.
Bellwether Volar. If it doesn't have four wheels, it isn't a fricken car.
Leo Coupe. See above.
True Flying Car. Again, too muck hydraulics to take it seriously. That shit breaks.
I'm a fan of no propellers
Looks like someone worked off an idea I did or I thought about it was about time utilizing the access space that would be on a car oh I love the jet engine idea but that would be more practical for long distance flight like oversea really should keep in mind that we're talking a futuristic do you for an example in Back to the Future too most all Concepts should be based on the traffic seen when they travel to the Future eventually when enough Vehicles that's capable of flight it in the air it will be required that they all have the same capabilities and would require traffic Systems in the air
Not sure I believe in this kind of road-and-air type of cars. I believe that evtols (especially with ducted fans) once autonomous and with built out infrastructure could be viable personal vehicles. You only really need the last few meters of parking capabilities once you landed, and the ducted vector fans could provide that or tiny motors on the landing gear.
About the same deadlines, seeing accidents are very largely "human error" caused either due to not paying attention/distracted driving and/or greedy (speeding,cutting people off, people hating on certain type of cars and fuel types purposely speeding..) ect
The car used in your graphic looks the best. It has that it factor. The others are ehh wacky like trying to force car and vtol into a very unhappy marriage. Forget the ground travel mode as some have suggested already here. otherwise you end up in f35 land. Not good at any one task and too expensive
The biggest market is in a family car.
alef car is the best
I'll take the antelope please
None of them seem destined for any mass market use.
Pardon me but can you tell me where I can find jet fuel? Lol sure that will be 200 dollars per pound. Cause jet fuel is measured in pounds.
check this video : Making a flying car its really great .we can see all from beginning to end of first episode. @
So no Jetsons World for another 50 years, ok.
Who wants to take bets on which of these is vaporware?
Where are the anti gravity cars!!!!
It's never going to happen, most people have a hard time with 2 dimensions let alone 3.
As you aptly point out, only 2 can become cars, the AeroMobil and the HT Aero. There is that attached problem for cars that require an airport, which denies practicality.
That and another intrinsic concern of the logic of the idea. If you could fly there, why the hell are you driving? Of course there isnt a reason.
In car design we are required to look after safety, if we achieve this we have already burned millions of dollars and years of research, this too is an impediment.
I very nearly got there myself, starting simple with a single seat CanAm style open body car on a 3 wheeler chassis. The 3 wheel form with 2 wheels up front allows you to get past car safety because in most places it registers as a motorcycle and sidecar, which are exempt. It can drive on the road with a relatively light motorcycle engine and rear wheel transmission. Its delta wing slides in and out of the rear body which adds wing area and creates a more favourable aspect ratio. To keep the part wing body on the road while folded it is necessary to keep a negative angle of attack at highway speeds or you will find the machine lifting off the road above 60 mph. This was accomplished by raising the rear suspension, which retracts in aeroplane mode to do the opposite. Forward propulsion would have been achieved via a front take off from the transmission to a retractable propeller shaft and fold away propeller of the type gliders use. While this car is achievable it has to skirt the same conundrum that AeroMobil does, so I scrapped the idea as unsatisfactory. It was simply much better to have a personal flying machine that might in the end work out cheaper, with the added reserve that it could take off vertically.
Enter the turbine APU powered electric compound single rotor helicopter capable of 300 mph. There are too many compromises in achieving the car part of the flying car, so focus on what works. And BTW these ballistic chutes all have a no-go zone which you must fly above or they simply add to the weight contributing to the damage in the crash you were trying to avoid !
Have a look at Pal-V flying car
@@ElectricAviation I remember when they were testing, the program goes back a long way.
There were a few relevant designs from the gyro copter world that either preceded or inspired it, what they did made a roadable package.
Although Im not fond of this style of trike it does do everything they claim right out of the box, well within the limitations of a gyro.
But the ultimate development requires a collective pitch control, and once you go that far you might just as well be a full helicopter.
Without it, on a machine of this weight you need 1,000 ft run up to clear a 50ft obstacle.
On the plus side they are certified, it is quite fast, and gyros are I believe safe machines to fly
well I only had one crash :)
It's not a flying car if you can see propeller(s) =
Helicopter and/or large Pasanger-Drone🤔
Tech still isn’t there
I will thank you for the information shared, but none of these ideas/candidates are worthy of FAA approval. Nor would any of these vehicles ever be considered affordable.
We need a new type of flying vehicle something not seen before with a new and different type of propulsion no propeller or Jet im referring to Jetoptera!!! Do your own research.
I just commented that I think Jetoptera is going to win this game.
Wheels
jet engine is ice engine
if you have centrifugal compression rotational turbines, then you can both hovercraft on ice and fly (telsa and impeller pumps, back-front-up-down directional valve outs)
just use ice to electric, dont care about your morals, live let live, stop demanding moral actions for your service
Hire Bob Lazar
I WANT MY PROPS INCASED IN A RINGED BAND . I DON'T LIKE EXPOSED PROPS
What do you need a flying car if you can land on the spot ? The idea of flying car is wrong thinking .
The very concept of a flying car is actually misguided. What people really want are hovercrafts. If you want to drive on land then use a car. If you want to fly across town then a hovercraft is what you need. The cost of a car than can turn into a plane is not worth it.
💪 Promo-SM!
It's all nonsense tell true antigravty comes to the market some body has them so the technology is possible.
CHINA'S Areo-Flying Car (Gen 6) w/500 million $'s to pre-production vehicles will be operational before '24...
If, by then, we haven't blown one another off our planet ~ that is !
.......^j^
Flying car.. stupid idea. It will always be a bad car and a bad plane. Why not go for the whole thing. Improve EVTOL's until we dont need roads anymore. Roads are already old fashion.
flying cars again? this is so stupid every thinking man should see it
not only that a pilot license can´t be afforded by 90% of the people who want it, there is also no practical advantage, to driving if you can fly and also there are ways to take flying equipment with you even in the trunk of an average car or even on you bike
you could even take your bike with you in the air, sry but you´ll never skip traffic and your dayli commute, accept that it´s a pipedream and buy a paraglider or paramotor, if you want wheels on it buy a trike, invest about 10k USD and you can lift of and fly
why would you ever want a combination of a bad car and a bad plane, at a price of a nice yard, not including licenses but can have all three for less including licenses
minimalism will always be king
the speccs on these things are a joke
None all is it just wishful thinking and wasted money !
Flying cars are a TERRIBLE and RIDICULOUS idea, much more so than the car itself (which is pretty bad).
What is your Transportation solution?
Of course that's a troll would say.
BOOOOO!! 👎
