How is Liberty different from most other flying cars?
In the 1967 blockbuster You Only Live Twice, James Bond thrilled audiences with an autogyro called Little Nellie. Half a century later, we have a similar autogyro called Liberty.
Liberty was unveiled last week at the Farnborough air show in Britain. Unlike other flying cars under development, Liberty is an autogyro because it has rotors instead of fixed wings. Autogyros have been around for a long time. One of the earliest helped Amelia Earhart set an altitude record in 1931, while two others were seen on celluloid in It Happened One Night (1934) and the aforementioned 007 movie.
Like the autogyro used by James Bond, Liberty has a propeller mounted in the rear. Its rotors, powered by air churned by the propeller, help the vehicle lift off from just a 90-meter airstrip and make an emergency landing in a small patch of land. It can carry two passengers and fly at a speed of 180 kmph for 400-500 kilometers. If you want to drive it like a car, you can fold the rotor, propeller, and tail in just ten minutes.
Liberty is manufactured by Dutch company PAL-V and deliveries start in 2020.
