These electric planes are designed to take off and land vertically like a helicopter.

The FAA has finalized pilot training and certification rules for these flying cars, marking a major milestone in the development and deployment of this technology. These aircraft represent the first completely new type of aircraft to be introduced into civilian operations since helicopters in the 1940s.

Flying cars and their characteristics

  • How do you remember? The Washington PostFlying cars have been the subject of nearly a decade of research and development by scientists in the United States and other countries;
  • Now, with official approval from the FAA, they are closer to becoming a reality;
  • The company said they will soon be ready to fly safely and will appear in the sky soon;
  • These electric planes bring many advantages in terms of urban mobility. They can ease traffic on roads, allow faster and more efficient travel and provide greater flexibility for the transport of people and goods;
  • Additionally, their electric operation helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, making them more environmentally sustainable compared to fossil fuel-powered vehicles.

Currently, most flying cars are operated by pilots, but researchers and engineers are exploring options for autonomous flights without the need for human pilots.

These autonomous aircraft can further increase the efficiency and safety of air transport by eliminating human error. However, there are still regulatory and technical challenges to overcome before autonomous driving of flying cars becomes a reality.
