Hoversurf unveiled a 3D printed flying car for less than $ 100,000

Hoversurf, a transportation technology company based in San Francisco and Moscow, has just introduced one 3D printing Formula, a revolutionary flying car made of carbon fiber and metal, is said to have crystallized the company's years of unmanned experience. The VTOL 5 ​​is likely to fly by mid-2018.

Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL) The Hoversurf FORMULA has folding wings which means it can accommodate standard parking spaces and even garages. The flying car can seat up to five passengers at a time, powered by 48 electric thrusters and 52 turbo propulsion units .

The company uses the 3D printed carbon fiber and 3D printed metal to make the FORMULA fuselage and navigate through the air with 3D vision technology. When it comes to air navigation, aircraft turbines use the 'Venturi effect', meaning that the general atmosphere is inhaled by injection Turbine outlets generate additional flow and reduce the noise flow of high-velocity jets at low speeds, so there is no noisy propeller on the Formula Most S / VTOLs use a rotary propeller to switch from vertical takeoff to airplane mode.

Unlike other S / VTOLs, these systems work independently of each other, and the Formula can safely land if the wings break, and the formula can safely land if 50% of the turbines fail.

The company estimates the Formula Flying Car will cost $ 97,000, slightly less Tesla S-type.

At the same time often use 3D printing technology Airbus, which makes parts for planes, this spring introduced the plane that developed Pop.Up, a flying car that combines a drone with a partially self-driving car, and Airbus said that its concept of a flying car is basically a wheelchair with a wheelchair The wings of the platform can help reduce road congestion in busy cities, vehicles freeing their wings and soaring.
