Pal-V, a Netherlands company that has been developing a two-seat roadable gyroplane, said last week they are ready to start taking orders for the vehicle. "After years of hard work, beating the technical and qualification challenges, our team succeeded in creating an innovative flying car that complies with existing safety standards, determined by regulatory bodies around the world," said Robert Dingemanse, CEO of PAL-V. The aircraft is designed to take off and land in 650 feet or less, and once on the ground it can be converted to drive mode in less than 10 minutes and travel at speeds up to 100 mph, the company said. Flying cruise speed is about 97 knots, with a range up to 270 NM. The Pal-V uses regular auto gas for fuel.
