Whether you are searching for environmentally friendly practical transport or new thrills, the Parajet Skycar is no longer a dream….... a machine that can drive like a car and fly like an aeroplane, capable of beating congestion for the commuter or providing a low cost method of reaching remote regions only accessible by helicopter.
It will be the first high performance, road legal, bio-fuelled flying car capable of providing sports and rally car performance on or off the road and light aircraft performance after just a few minutes of wing preparation.
The SkyCar is made possible by employing the latest technology in high speed, self stabilising, parafoil design. The future in this emerging technology is promising airspeeds of up to 100mph, with precise handling performance and an increased safety factor over conventional rigid wings. The SkyCar ‘ParaWing’ is so compact it can literally be folded into the boot of the SkyCar by the pilot alone.
The Parajet Skycar in “fly mode” will be suspended by the latest ram-air wing and capable of take-off from a field or airstrip in less than 200 metres. It will be easier and safer to fly than any other aircraft, as it has no pitch control and therefore impossible to stall or dive. Should the engine fail, the pilot would simply glide down into the nearest field or strip of sandy desert.
