PIERPAOLO LAZZARINI FLYING VEHICLES

 Pierpaolo Lazzarini's Aircar soars the skies with four rotatable Rolls-Royce jet engines   

The Air Car has been designed by automotive designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini. With expanding his collection of innovative water, land and sky vehicle concepts, Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini returns with Aircar to reimagine the future of flying vehicles. Allowing travellers to avoid road traffic by simply jetting off above ground, the 4×4 jet flying aircraft is envisioned as a small, futuristic module measuring 6 meters in length, and designed to accommodate up to one pilot and three passengers. Its carbon-fibre monocoque bodywork lends it an ultra-lightweight form which is integrated with four rotatable Rolls-Royce jet engines which enable it to soar the skies. Efficient in both size and speed, the Air car can cruise at an estimated top speed of 750 Km/h for an estimated autonomy of 1200 km's on jet fuel.

As the flying car truly takes off as we move through 2024, this stunning design by automotive designer, Pierpaolo Lazzarini, is proof that, when it comes to flying cars, the sky’s the limit. The Air car is a massive six meters long (19.7 feet). It features four rotatable Rolls-Royce jet engines in a 4×4 system. Also as the minds behind shark-inspired $1 billion superyacht that’s so big you need vehicle to get around – it was always going to wow.

Proposed by Rome-based Lazzarini Design Studio, the Aircar is set to be powered by aero-engines created by Rolls-Royce. Each of the four jet engines can independently adjust its own inclination and rotation, guaranteeing stability and a high maneuverability in turning. Further, due to 4×4 system’s engine’s inclination and rotation, the flying vehicle can navigate on variable heights and inclines, or fly in straight trim, depending on the cruising speed needs. At the moment, the Aircar remains a concept flying vehicle, though lead designer and founder of the studio Pierpaolo Lazzarini seeks to realize it by 2024 with a first real scale prototype before it is ready to hit the market.

Its ultra-light carbon monocoque includes four rotatable Rolls-Royce jet engines in a 4×4 system. Each of those engines is able to work independently, adjusting both their inclination and rotation for stability and manoeuvrability. This allows Lazzarini‘s Air Car to manoeuvre on variable heights. The Air Car is a massive six meters long (19.7 feet) and seats a pilot with up to three passengers.  The trim is inclined depending on the speed, which peaks at an estimated 750 km/h (466 mph). Also allows for an estimated autonomy of 1,200 km's (746 miles) of jet fuel. Due to the jet rotation, the Aircar can fly in straight trim or inclined and can independently adjust inclination. Pierpaolo lazzarini's aircar is carbon-fibre monocoque bodywork lends it an ultra-lightweight form.
