PAL-V rides and flies

Traffic jams are the bane of modern life, which is why the concept PAL-V hybrid tricycle gyrocopter sounds like a God-send. It performs like a motorcycle on a road despite sitting in a cabin that is as familiar as a car’s, while rotors and a tail pop out whenever you feel like taking to the skies. There is a limit as to how high you can fly – up to 4,000 feet at speeds reaching 200kph. While the PAL-V is brilliant from the concept point of view, it certainly sounds dodgy in real life due to the physical design and the fact that flying isn’t as easy as punching in numbers on an autopilot program. It is tipped that the PAL-V will be commercially available within 2 years for what is certainly an astronomical price.
