When Aston Martin revealed in July, 2018 it was forming a partnership with UK Cranfield Aerospace to create a flying car and offered futuristic-looking illustrations to support it, the media jumped on the story like flies on… Since then, no further news has emerged, zilch, diddly-squat.

The problem being it is easy to speculate. Volkswagen is particularly interested in Chinese technology and potential business partnerships, as the country now makes up a major share of world VW sales. The executives indicated the company “is exploring possible partnerships and vehicle concepts for a drone that could be licenced as urban aerial transit”. In a post on LinkedIn recently, CEO Herbert Diess and Stephan Woellenstein, the head of VW’s China operations, discussed how “vertical mobility” could be part of its future - that is, “flying cars.” Still shrouded under the global scandal of its “rigging of diesel systems”, a VW all-electric flying car would be an excellent distraction and tongues are wagging that a collaboration with a Chinese partner may be on the cards. In the not-too-distant future, though, we could look up to see the skies abuzz with flying taxis, personal vehicles, and driverless rideshares-and we may even be able to lift off out of traffic to fly straight to our destinations.After Aston Martin, Porsche, Cadillac and Roll-Royce, the latest car manufacturer to be “speculated over” for designing a flying car is Volkswagon, reports.

For now there will be just one of them roaming the streets with an official EU license plate. However, PAL-V can’t actually start production of the car until it passes quality tests with the Netherlands Vehicle Authority. The standard, or Sport model, will go on sale next, at a price of $399,000.

PAL-V says it hired Italian designers to make the car’s design elegant, and the interior is full leather.

The first 90 vehicles sold will be the Liberty’s limited edition, called the Pioneer with a pre-tax price tag of $599,000, it won’t come cheap that price includes $150,00 worth of options and the model is being marketed as highly personalizable. PAL-V expects to complete its certification with the European Aviation Safety Agency in 2022 (it’s been in the process since 2015). There will also need to be regulations about how high the cars can fly they of course wouldn’t be able to go anywhere near the 30,000-foot cruising altitude of planes, but there’s a big difference between flying 200 feet above the ground versus 1,000 feet above the ground (and everything in between)-and in fact, the Liberty’s maximum operating altitude is listed as 3,500 meters, which is just under 11,500 feet.

there will need to be designated areas or even “lanes” in the air that drivers (or maybe they should be called pilots?) have to stick to to avoid colliding with buildings, trees-and other flying cars. That will involve a lot of regulations, clearance from aviation and city commissions, and careful consideration of safety measures, i.e. Speaking of which, big spoiler: the car isn’t allowed to fly yet. Liberty’s engineers will likely work on streamlining the process in future models. Switching between flying to driving modes isn’t just a simple matter of extending the rotors or folding them away it’s a process that takes several minutes. For comparison’s sake, the average helicopter can go up to about 160 miles per hour. In driving mode the Liberty can go up to 99 miles per hour, and in flight mode its max speed is 112 miles per hour.

It needs a runway at least 590 feet long for takeoff and 100 feet long for landings. So while the car can hover like a helicopter, it can’t take off or land vertically. The Liberty is a gyrocopter, which means rotors on top provide lift, but they’re not powered by the engine a separate propeller engine on the back of the car provides thrust.
