The electric four-seater AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL concept is a flying taxi
combining autonomous flight with a driving mode
AeroMobil is an advanced engineering company that is combining a car and an aircraft in a single vehicle. It aims to make personal transportation vastly more efficient and environmentally friendly by helping to overcome traffic jams in large areas and by allowing significantly faster door-to-door travel for medium distances or in areas with limited road infrastructure.
With the AeroMobil 5.0 VTOL (vertical take-off and landing), together with the AeroMobil 4.0 STOL (short take-off and landing), the company solves the first-to-last mile of personal air transportation, because users are able to switch smoothly between flight and driving mode.
The 5.0 VTOL concept has two electrically driven rotors to ensure safe vertical take-off with horizontal thrust being provided by an electric powered rear mounted pusher propeller. It will seat four passengers providing similar comfort and user experience as next generation electric vehicles. Each occupant will have access to a personalised inflight experience, with flight or drive data and advanced communications and media to ensure occupants stay connected while in the air or on the road.
Orders are now being taken for the AeroMobil 4.0 STOL which is currently in the testing phase of development and delivers intra-city travel of up to 700 kilometres. Production of the 5.0 VTOL model will follow in 2020 in a limited series and will be available to private owners within the next seven to 10 years.
From £925,270 / €1.056m / $1.3m for the 4.0 STOL
