Four-wing drive: Flying cars are taking off, but are we ready for them?
Hindustan TimesThey were in Robert Zemeckis’s Back to the Future, set in the 1980s. Two months earlier, in May, Eve Air Mobility, the flying-car division of Brazil-based aerospace company Embraer, successfully completed wind-tunnel tests for its flying vehicle, Eve. In late 2022, Xpeng Aeroht, the flying-car division of the Chinese company Xpeng Motors, was granted a “special flight permit” to begin testing its two-seater, X2, in the skies and on the roads of Guangzhou. In 2021, Slovakian company Klein Vision’s AirCar completed a 35-minute flight from the international airport in Piestany near Nitra to the international airport in Bratislava, a distance of about 80 km. Brazil’s power grids, for instance, aren’t prepared for the charging needs of electric flying cars,” Luiz Mauad, vice-president of services and operations solutions at Eve Air Mobility, said at a press conference in June.
