It's true that flying car concepts are a dime a dozen, but a Slovakian-based company by the name of AeroMobil has gone ahead and unveiled a vehicular concept that is a little different from most of the others out there in that it is designed to be electrically powered, as well as capable of vertical take-off and landing.
Dubbed the Aeromobil 5.0 VTOL, this particular flying car concept is designed to be flown autonomously, a feature which would promise a greater range of operational capabilities. The inclusion of vertical take-off and landing capability would serve to expand the kinds of settings in which the vehicle could be used, making it perfect for urban use.
This flying car concept isn't estimated to be available in physical form for up to another decade, at which time it hopes to be one of a new breed of aerial vehicles that will revolutionize urban travel.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Vertical Take-off and Landing Vehicles (VTOL)
- The AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL concept envisions the future of aerial vehicles with electrically powered capabilities and autonomous flying with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.
- Autonomous Flying Cars
- With the AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL and other autonomous flying car concepts, the future of transport is aimed towards autonomous and self-piloted vehicles.
- Electric Aircraft
- The AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL concept uses electric technology to power the vehicle, which is a disruptive innovation opportunity for makers of electric aircrafts.
Sectors Adopting This
- Aerospace and Defense
- The AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL concept represents an innovative technology that could disrupt the aerospace and defense industry with electrically powered, autonomous VTOL vehicles.
- Automotive
- With the AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL and other flying car concepts, the automotive industry has the potential to be disrupted with the development of autonomous flying vehicles for urban use.
- Electric Vehicle
- The AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL concept could disrupt the electric vehicle industry with the development of electrically powered aircraft technology as an alternative form of transport.
