We all know that science has no end. As well as technological development has no end, we have talked a lot about cars and the extent of their development, but we did not mention before that a car has the ability to fly. Yes, in this article we explain important details about everything related to flying cars.
What is a flying car?
She is a very unique kind. It is one of the vehicles that provide you with air and land transportation at the same time. It was manufactured in an innovative way to quickly transform from a normal vehicle or car to a flying car.
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, Many vehicles and prototypes are built using a variety of aerospace technologies, an example of which is distributed propulsion. The first fully-produced flying car is PAL-V . car It is expected to be completely completed in late 2021.
flying cars It is considered one of the most popular topics in the world and in science fiction films, where most science fiction films are found Flying cars or something.
The stages of development of flying cars
Here are the most important old developments in the field of flying cars:
- 1940: It was the beginning of the talk about flying cars, as Henry Ford predicted the emergence of the so-called flying car, Where we will see a car that has the ability to fly, you may wonder now, but this will happen.
- 1942: The Soviet Armed Forces created the Zalaqiya tank, and it was one of the Type A-40 ، But she couldn't fly one.
- 1949:molton taylor He designed the Aerocar and had a 100% successful flight.، It was a unique trip.
- 1956: A foreign song titled "You Can't Catch Me" was released by Chuck Berry, and recent releases have undergone a lot of back-to-back auditions. This year, the Civil Aviation Authority approved the start of design for this mass production, and despite the great publicity and the improved version of the design, Taylor was unable to bring that car and the wonderful design into production.
- عام 1957: Popular Mechanics reports that Hiller Helicopters has been working hard on developing a twin-tube propeller plane, which is expected to fly much easier than conventional helicopters, and costs a lot less. And his signature that this type of aircraft will become the basis later.
- كان عام 1957: Filled with accomplishments in this field, this year Curtis Wright, Chrysler and Biesky were awarded a comprehensive contract to build prototypes in this regard. Despite their many prototypes, the "VZ-8" remained the most successful of the three. Where it had the ability to fly at a height of more than thousands of feet, which indicates its stability during flight.
The army decided at that time that the concept and layout of the aircraft were not suitable for the modern battlefield or battlefield, and thus their focus was on conventional aircraft.
- Between two years1988:1982 : Engineer Boeing founded a company Flight Innovations Inc. And then he started directly to develop Sky Commuter .
Sky Commuter : It is an aircraft of small size, made of semi-composite materials.
- 2006 : The aircraft was first announced X-Hawk which was provided by the company Urban Aeronautics Which was turboprop, it was scheduled to take off on its maiden flight in 2009.
2008 : The first model was completed and then sold for £86,000, according to eBay.
Here are the most important recent developments in the field of flying cars:
Starting in 2017, many companies have emerged that are developing flying cars, which have the feature of vertical take-off and landing, to be produced by 2020, Examples of recent developments include:
- 2012 : The first Terrafugia Transition model appeared and was at a famous show called the New York International Auto Show.
- 2013 :Terrafugia has announced the TF-X, a familiarity vehicle that will be the first fully autonomous flying car. It has a range of up to 500 miles per trip and its battery is rechargeable by motor.
- 2016 : AeroMobil has tested an important model that received the Superior Flight Certificate from Slovakia. But the company did not specify when the product will be available or even its cost.
- 2017 : Kitty Hawk Corporation and Aero have worked to develop modern flying cars. The kitty Hawk company also revealed its developed vehicle that works only on water.
- 2018 : Some companies have revealed a concept that resembles a sports car that has the ability to fly and operates in a vertical landing mode.
- In August of the year 2019 : The Volocopter 2x was first tested and successfully tested at Helsinki Airport, where it was integrated with the Altitude Angel - AirMap - Unifly UAV, an essential component of commercial flights. The first Airbus eVTOL prototype made its first realistic flight on May 3, 2019.
EHang 216 carried passengers during a demonstration flight at an exhibition in China and Northeast Asia, and it was in late 2019.
How safe are flying cars?
flying cars, In its nature, it is not subject to many common safety measures, and it is also a new technology, meaning that the pilots of these cars do not have enough experience. I think that flying cars are very dangerous, because their landing is frequent, unlike planes, and this leads to an increase in the possibility of accidents and loss of life.
the big problem, It is the great danger that lies in collisions in the air during traffic jams. One of the most serious problems is also landing in places that are not equipped for it, and this may lead to the possibility of collision. Modern systems equipped for such flying cars must now be developed, in anticipation of an increase in their numbers in the future.
For now
now "at the moment" Most of the development in the field of flying cars has ended, a famous company called Europe PAL-V will search for investors to work on developing their commercial product to be put on the market, and their flying car has won the admiration of many investors, airlines and military institutions, for use in various fields Including mobility, observer and others.
Flying cars were just a dream, Or science fiction in a movie. Now it has become a reality and the dream has turned into reality. You may leave your home one day to fly over the urban congestion areas and get rid of traffic jams and others, now everything is possible.
