While the future of flying cars and the other flying deals is still in the oblivion, except the Terrafugia Transition of course. A rather small name in auto-aviation, Logi AeroSpace is believed to have proposed to build the Tyrannos – a four-wheeled car that relies on four small rotary wings for its vertical takeoff and landing. This flying car is proposed for the Pentagon’s mad science division, DARPA.
Designed with motive of providing protection to military troops who fall victims to improvised explosive device (IEDs), the Tyrannos would travel both on roads and air with same precision, allowing the soldier to lift off from the areas they think would be planted with IEDs. The futuristic car Tyrannos will be based on the flight-proven shoulder propeller design from Trek Aerospace, to help the all-terrain car take of vertically without a runway.
According to the developers it is believe that the 1,800 pound Tyrannos will not be made to fly too high, 200 to 500 feet, optimally, that because it will carry a payload of 1,100 pounds, maximum to 1,850 pounds if the car is made to run down for 180 odd feet before takeoff. The flying car will be a zero emissions vehicle, built to survive bullets shot at it. There is still a lot to be known about the Tyrannos, so you must stick around while we dig deeper for more on the possible reality in flying cars.
