Pretty cool------
The race to sell the first flying car of the 21st century may be won by a motorcycle.
The PAL-V is a transforming gyrocopter designed and built in the Netherlands that’s now on sale, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2016, according to BBC Autos.
A modern take on the type of flying machine used by James Bond in the film “You Only Live Twice,” the PAL-V – for Personal Air and Land Vehicle – takes its usefulness to the next level.
Thanks to a hydraulic suspension system, the vehicle is able to lean into turns on the road, making it stable to drive quickly, despite its high center of gravity.
According to its creators, the 230 hp vehicle can reach a top speed of 112 mph on land or in the air.
It takes just 10 minutes to be converted between modes, and features a small rear-mounted propeller along with its fold-up main rotor.
