The production of the world’s first flying car, the PAL-V Liberty, has officially commenced in the United States, marking a significant milestone in automotive innovation. This futuristic vehicle, priced at approximately £235,000, promises to revolutionize daily commutes by allowing drivers to avoid traffic jams altogether.
Manufactured by PAL-V, a Dutch company specializing in flying vehicles, the PAL-V Liberty is designed to operate both as a car on the road and as an aircraft in the sky. The dual functionality means that owners can drive into a designated area, deploy the rotor blades, and take off, providing a seamless transition from ground to air travel.

It has received certification from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, paving the way for its market introduction. This certification is a crucial step, as it assures potential buyers of the vehicle’s compliance with stringent safety standards.
The vehicle features a compact design that allows it to take off and land in relatively small spaces, making it practical for urban environments. With a maximum flying speed of around 160 km/h (approximately 100 mph) and a driving range of approximately 1,000 kilometers (about 620 miles
