The Pentagon Has Approved R&D for A Flying Car
The Pentagon has commissioned DARPA to build a military grade flying-car. The Personal Air Vehicle Technology project aims to create a car which could drive on the road, and in an instant take off from the road and fly like a helicopter.
Although there is already a flying-car in the works by another manufacturer knows as Terrafugia, that one is designed for civilians.
The new flying-car being built by DARPA could be used for military purposes including scouting, search and resuce, and personnel transport. The vehicle will be able to travel at about 60mph on the road, and 150mph in the flight. The challenge is to make them small enough, and easy enough to employ in many different situations.
