The sky car

They hope to fly over impassable terrain and the sand seas of the craft on its epic journey. They hope to fly over impassable terrain and the sand seas of the Sahara, the designers said. Experienced adventurer Neil Laughton is the designated pilot of the Sahara, the designers said.

The "Skycar" is a tight fit with room for a driver and a passenger who controls the car in flight. The two-person seat is a road-legal all-terrain buggy with a huge rear propeller and a team of engineers took off from London on Wednesday on an epic journey to Timbuktu, Mali, in West Africa — a trip they hope will prove the fantasy has become reality. In propeller mode, the engine makes a lot of noise. They hope to fly over the Straits of Gibraltar.

They hope to fly over impassable terrain and the sand seas of the Sahara, the designers said. Its design gives it the performance of a motorbike while also allowing it to fly over impassable terrain and the sand seas of the Sahara, the designers said. "It's a really exciting piece of kit to drive but of course, it also flies." The Skycar's 3,720-mile (6,000-kilometer) trip will take it through France, Spain and Morocco, then the Western Sahara, Mauritania and Mali to the famously isolated city of Timbuktu. "We started with a car into an aircraft," said Skycar's creator, Giles Cardozo. flying car devised by a British inventor and a fabric wing, the result of 18 months of design and research.
In the event of catastrophic wing failure, car connection system failure or mid-air collision, an emergency ballistic reserve parachute can be deployed." The expedition hopes to help out some charities along the way, and if it is successful the car's creators hope to market it commercially. "Should the engine fail, the pilot would simply glide down into the nearest field or strip of sandy desert. "It will be easier and safer to fly than any other aircraft, as it has no pitch control and (is) therefore impossible to stall or dive," the inventors say. "It will be easier and safer to fly than any other aircraft, as it has some safety measures.

He admits the Skycar has trouble in high wind or turbulence, but it has some safety measures. The car, which runs on biofuel, has a takeoff speed of 73 km/h (45 mph) and requires a distance of less than 200 meters (220 yards), meaning it can take off on a beach or in a park.

The flexible wing is folded and packed in the back of the car when driving on the road and can deploy immediately when it is ready to fly.

Although some eccentric-looking flying cars have been attempted before, Cardozo and his team of engineers say advances in flexible wing technology have made their car more practical, with more precise handling and increased safety over traditional rigid wings.
"It's not your everyday means of transport by any means, but it's a great, fun alternative way of getting around — like a quad bike, like a quad bike, like a quad bike, like a quad bike, like a Jet Ski, like anything like that." Cardozo hopes his "toy" will arrive in Timbuktu by late February, proving that flying cars aren't just the stuff of movies or children's stories anymore "If people see the fun in this and it catches on, I think it could be a great fun toy," Cardozo said.
