London company complete successful flight test of vehicle they say will replace cars
A London company have today revealed a successful flight test of a vehicle they say will replace cars.
Bellwether Industries’ Volar eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) is a flying hypercar for private owners.
They say it is the world’s first without a large wingspan or exposed blades, making it ideal for urban use.
The futuristic half-scale version flew at an altitude of 13 feet (4 metres) with a speed of 40 kilometres per hour (25 miles per hour).
The team say the Dubai test flight demonstrated stability and controllability of the prototype.
