An Italian designer has reimagined the future of flying vehicles with his 4x4 jet flying concept vehicle. Created by Pierpaolo Lazzarini of Rome-based Lazzarini Design Studio, Aircar is a small, futuristic vehicle powered by Rolls-Royce jet engines enabling it to soar through the sky at great speed.
Allowing travellers to avoid road traffic by simply jetting off above ground, the 4×4 jet aircraft measures 6 meters in length, and is designed to accommodate up to one pilot and three passengers. Its carbon-fibre monocoque bodywork lends it an ultra-lightweight form.
Efficient in both size and speed, the Aircar can cruise at an estimated top speed of 750 Km/h (460mph) for an estimated autonomy of 3200 kilometers on jet fuel. At the moment, the Aircar remains a concept flying vehicle though Lazzarini seeks to release it by 2024 with a first real scale prototype before it is ready to hit the market.
