The PALV - a new vehicle to lead a revolution in personal transportation

Rotterdam, 14 October 2004

What happens if you cross a gyrocopter with a car and a motorbike?
The PALV. A personal air and land vehicle. A solution to increasing congestion in our cities, highways and skyways.
On the ground, the slim line, aerodynamic 3-wheel vehicle is as comfortable as a luxury car. But has the agility of a motorbike, thanks to its patented cutting-edge ‘tilting’ system. The single rotor and propeller are folded away until the PALV is ready to fly.
Airborne, the PALV flies under the 4,000 feet (1,500 m) floor of commercial air space. With land and air space reaching capacity, this is some of the last free space.
The PALV is highly fuel-efficient and powered by an environmentally certified car engine. It runs on petrol like a conventional car and can reach speeds of up to 200 km/h both on land and in the air.

I can't see this happening; there are too many idiots who can't drive on a road, let alone in 3 dimensions.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that I won't meet the weight restrictions...
