The Dutch PAL-V company has spent the last 7 years developing this flying car, the PAL-V 1. As a car, it works as a leaning 3 wheeler and it’s a gyrocopter in the air. The 213 hp gasoline engine has to come to a full stop to convert between ground and air operation. The transformation takes less than 10 minutes. The PAL-V requires 540 feet to take off and only 30 to land. It weighs 1500 pounds and can carry two people up to 500 pounds.
