engineer in Tokyo are attempting to work up a wing car that will aid light the Olympic caldron in 2020 . And even though they still have a few years , it ’s a slipstream against time to achieve what so many other fly car designer have give out to do : make a safe and reliable flying machine that can handle both theskies and the roadstead .
The engineering group in Tokyo , call the Cart!vator , is working night and day to get their paradigm fully operative . The “ flying railroad car ” will have erect take off and landing capabilities ( VTOL ) and the ability to push on paved surfaces . The long terminal figure end ? The chemical group , set up by Tsubasa Nakamura , hopes that after the Olympic Games they can last move around us all intoGeorge and Jane Jetsons .
“ If technological innovation is achieved in the battery functioning and other fields , the fomite could be commercialize in the future tense , ” Masafumi Miwa , an engineer working with the group , toldAsahi Shimbun .
The ruined flying motorcar will reportedly be about 10 feet foresightful and 4 foot wide-eyed , though my own exertion to get in touch with the mathematical group about spec have so far go away unreciprocated . The chemical group toldAsahi Shimbunthat they hope to ultimately reach a scope of roughly 30 sea mile while flying about 160 foot in the air .
The group has reportedly raise just over $ 25,000 so far to keep their efforts , but they need more money to get the project off the ground ( sorry ) . Whether they can make it full functional in time for the Games , permit alone something for world-wide consumption , remains to be understand . But we ’ll definitely keep you posted .
