PAL-V Liberty - The first road legal flying car

 

PAL-V LIBERTY

You might be thinking what kind of car is this. Is it any kind of Flying car used in a Sci-Fi movie? Well, you are right, this is the new PAL-V LIBERTY Flying car which is now road legal. Yes, it is now legal to drive this car on the road. 

The approval was granted by Europe, but the approval from the European Aviation Safety Agency is pending. This PAL-V's Liberty will get an officially licensed plate for driving on road. The delivery will start once the approval from EASA is confirmed. 

Mike Stekelenburg, CTO, PAL-V said: “We have been cooperating with the road authorities for many years to reach this milestone. The excitement you feel in the team is huge. It was very challenging to make a ‘folded aircraft’ pass all road admission tests. For me, the trick in successfully making a flying car is to ensure that the design complies with both air and road regulations. I feel the energy and motivation in our team to push hard for the last few milestones and get the Liberty certified for flying too. The excitement you feel in the team is huge. It was very challenging to make a “folded aircraft” pass all road admission tests.
