Skycar Specs
Road Mode Performance
-
Max Speed:
140 mph
-
0-62 mph:
4.2 Seconds
-
Range (miles):
400
The SkyCar has rear wheel drive and independent suspension, couple this with the light and powerful R1 engine and the outcome is blistering on and off road handling.
The chassis has been designed to take hard “landings” whether from flying or driving off-road.
Conversion from “road mode” to “fly mode” takes just three minutes.
Flight Mode Performance
-
Max Speed:
100 mph
-
Take off speed:
37 mph
-
Range (miles):
200
The Parajet SkyCar in “fly mode” is 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.
In the event of catastrophic wing failure, car connection system failure or mid-air collision, an emergency ballistic reserve parachute can be deployed.
Wing Technology
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 be folded into the boot of the SkyCar by the pilot alone.
