Traffic on the way to work? No problem, just activate the propellers and fly over the top of the gridlock in the world’s only street-legal flying car – the PAL-V Liberty. Since the dawn of man, we have looked to the sky and desired the bird’s freedom and grace. Sure, the Wright Brothers paved the way for aeronautical engineering; we’ve yet to have such an ability in the middle of rush hour.

Inspired by nature, engineered by man, and evolved over time, the PAL-V Liberty is a trailblazing product that inaugurates the age of the flying car. Leaving the road for the air, the PAL-V combines safety and fun in perfect harmony to satisfy even the most demanding customers.

Combining solid Dutch engineering with blood, sweat, and tears, these incredible technicians have lifted a flying car right from the pages of science fiction fantasy. I’m sure even Starfleet Command would have a few onboard the Startrek Enterprise.

During flight, the two-seat gyrocopter sports a pusher prop on a separate 200-hp motor and a large top rotor that spins slowly and freely on the roof. With a maximum speed of 112 mph and take-off needing only 1,000 ft of runway, the PAL-V can soar upwards of 11,480 ft. Needing only 100 feet when landing, it’s a nifty little vehicle this one.

Inside is a 26.4-gallon fuel tank, offering 4.3 hours of flying time and roughly 310 miles of driving time on just a half tank, whereas a full tank will take you 817 miles on the road. Elegantly designed by an Italian bureau, the PAL-V Liberty incorporates a polished and slick design, featuring only the most beautiful and refined shapes and colors, all in pursuit of perfection.

While the conversion process demonstrated is somewhat cumbersome, it’s complete in just a matter of minutes. Plus, having just recently passed the “stringent road admission tests and now is allowed on the streets with an official license plate,” the next stage of the process is conquering the sky legally.
