In the Netherlands, the chain construction of Pal-V ONE , a new commercial “flying car”, has just started to go on sale in 2012. The new vehicle is a kind of cross between a three-wheeled single-seater car and a small one. helicopter . It runs on gasoline and is ready to fly at heights below 1,200 meters, so it does not interfere with commercial air traffic. It circulates at 180 km / hour on the ground and in flight it reaches 185 km / h, although the cruising speed is 150 km / h .
In principle, the use of Pal-V ONE will be limited to emergency services, since making it available to private buyers would require modifying the general traffic laws. However, their manufacturers have announced that in Europe and the United States the creation of “digital” airways is already being considered that will provide safe corridors with the help of GPS technology, allowing to regulate the air traffic of vehicles in low flight without risk of collision.
