With the rise in global warming and increasing pollution levels, it is becoming essential to find a viable alternative to the internal combustion engine petrol powered car.
The aim of this project is to create a flying car, the main criteria being environmental friendliness in terms of both emissions and materials. The car should be able to fly as well as move on the ground. This report presents the design for a flying car, including the following components: engine, fuel, wings, wheels, accessories, safety features and materials. A description of the design and an analysis of operational efficiency for the flying car are followed. Finally, advantages and disadvantages of the car are listed.
A design of a flying car have been presented and discussed in this report. The design is simple and very environmentally friendly. Light composite materials are used for the car body. Composites with very special properties are used for the car engine, which is powered by oxygen. The flying car is able to take of at the speed of 5km/h. The maximum speed of the car is 400 km/h. However, a big disadvantage is the length of the manufacturing process and the final cost of the car. Based on the research, we recommend that, the two disadvantages are analysed more in depth before the final decision is made.
