World’s First ‘Fly And Drive’ Car Is Here
Eddie Gonzales Jr. – MessageToEagle.com – The world’s first “fly and drive” car has made a debut, but unless you have lots of extra money it’s not a vehicle you can buy anytime soon.
Presented on Tuesday night in Miami, the Pioneer Personal Air Landing Vehicle, or PAL-V is equipped with retractable overhead and rear propellers and can cruise at an altitude as high as 12,500 feet.

It can reach a top speed of 200mph in the air and 100mph on the ground.
The PAL-V is made of carbon fiber, titanium, and aluminum and weighs 1,500 pounds, and requires a 540 feet runway for take-off and just 100 feet for landing.
“After years of hard work, beating the technical and qualification challenges, our team succeeded in creating an innovative flying car that complies with existing safety standards, determined by regulatory bodies around the world.
The car is already in production and costs $599,000. The owner will need both a driving license and a pilot’s license.
A slightly cheaper version will be made next – the Pal-V Liberty Sport – has a price tag of $335,000.
