The Personal Air and Land Vehicle is the combination of a car, a motorbike and a helicopter - and it REALLY FLIES. It’s a dream-come-true that has been occupying minds and imaginations since the Model T Ford hit the scene, 90 years ago. But finally that dream has become a reality in the PAL-V

Talking about flying cars is nothing new but making it really happen is a different story. Many earlier attempts to do so have failed but with new regulations and perspectives on personal flying Dutch amateur pilot John Bakker seems to make a good chance with the Personal Air and Land Vehicle "The PAL-V ONE is a hybrid of a car a motorbike and a gyrocopter: a personal air and land vehicle. A solution to increasing congestion in our cities, highways and skyways. On the ground, the slim line, aerodynamic 3-wheel vehicle is as comfortable as a luxury car but has the agility of a motorbike, thanks to its patented cutting-edge 'tilting' system. The single rotor and propeller are folded away until the PAL-V ONE is ready to fly." (core77)
