When it is travel on road , its look same like a car , you can convert it into the driving mode and drive off to your destination. And the conversion the flight into drive mode automatically occurs in about 10 minutes.





WORKING PRINCIPLE-





It is flying using the gyro plane or terra-cotta principle . According to this principle , the rotor on top is not powered by the engine and an engine powers the propeller which is used to provide thurst , and t he rotor turns because of the passage of air through the rotor from below.









Paul Moller has spent 40 years and millions of dollars for developing his Skycar . He is now very close to developing the first mass-marketed flying car. Moller's latest design, the Skycar M400 , is designed to take off and land vertically, like a Harrier Jet , in small spaces. It can reach speeds of 400 mph (644 kph),The initial cost of a Skycar will be about $1 million, but once it begins to be mass produced that price could come down to as low as $60,000.

Engines lift the craft with 720 horsepower, and then thrust the craft forward. The Wankel engine replaces pistons of a conventional engine with a single triangular rotor spinning inside an oval-shaped chamber, which creates compression and expansion as the rotor turns.

The lifting of flying car is same as the principle of helicopter , the only difference between them are in the helicopter the rotor blades are powered. The blades are of airfoil shape , when the air comes in contact with the blades, there is a high pressure and the upper portion has the low pressure , so pressure difference is created between the blades and the car can lift in vertical above direction.









The propeller fan is powered by the engine, and it also creates pressure difference and it gives thurst in the forward direction.Its engine fuel are kerosene, gasoline , propane. Its fuel mileage is comparable to the medium sized car, 1200 km in one fuel tank.





SAFETY-

To make the Skycar safe and available to the general public, it will be completely controlled by computers using Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, which Moller calls a fly-by-wire system. In case of an accident, the vehicle will release a parachute and airbags, internally and externally, to cushion the impact of the crash.





ADVANTAGES -

The mass availability of flying cars could be very exciting or very scary, depending on how you look at it. If proper safeguards are put in place, they could be the answer to our ever-worsening traffic jams. Flying cars that can travel at hundreds of miles per hour would not only cut that rush hour commute to a few minutes, but it would allow us to live hundreds of miles farther from work and still make it to the office faster than by road-bound cars today.
